Reviewed-by: ohair

     1 README:

     2   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root

     3   repository. This root repository will include a "make" directory,

     4   and a Makefile for building the entire OpenJDK.

     5   A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include the following

     6   6 nested repositories:

     7     "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".

     8   There are also several source downloads for the jax* repositories that

     9   will be needed.

    11   This one root repository can be obtained with something like:

    13     hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8

    15   To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run the

    16   get_source.sh script located in the same respository as this file:

    18     cd openjdk8 && sh ./get_source.sh

    20   People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of

    21   the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/

    23   See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.

    25 Simple Build Instructions:

    27   0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see

    28      http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html

    30   1. If you don't have a jdk6 installed, download and install a JDK 6 from

    31      http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

    32      Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of JDK 6.

    34   2. Check the sanity of doing a build with your current system:

    35        make sanity

    36      See README-builds.html if you run into problems.

    38   3. Do a complete build of the OpenJDK:

    39        make all

    40      The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image

    42 where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually

    43 is 3.81 or newer.

    45 Complete details are available in README-builds.html.
