| README: |
| This file should be located at the top of the jdk Mercurial repository. |
| |
| See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK. |
| |
| Simple Build Instructions: |
| |
| 1. Download and install a JDK 6 from |
| http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp |
| Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK 6. |
| |
| 2. Either download and install the latest JDK7 from |
| http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/, or build your own complete |
| OpenJDK7 by using the top level Makefile in the OpenJDK Mercurial forest. |
| Set the environment variable ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH to the location of |
| this latest JDK7 or OpenJDK7 build. |
| |
| 3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine: |
| cd make && gnumake sanity |
| See README-builds.html if you run into problems. |
| |
| 4. Do a partial build of the jdk: |
| cd make && gnumake all |
| |
| 5. Construct the images: |
| cd make && gnumake images |
| The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image |
