112 <h2><a name="hg">Use of Mercurial</a></h2>
113 <blockquote>
114 The OpenJDK sources are maintained with the revision control system
115 <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial">Mercurial</a>.
116 If you are new to Mercurial, please see the
117 <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BeginnersGuides">Beginner Guides</a>
118 or refer to the <a href=""http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial Book</a>.
119 The first few chapters of the book provide an excellent overview of
120 Mercurial, what it is and how it works.
121 <br>
122 For using Mercurial with the OpenJDK refer to the
123 <a href=""http://openjdk.java.net/guide/repositories.html#installConfig">
124 Developer Guide: Installing and Configuring Mercurial</a>
125 section for more information.
126 The Forest Extension is not part of the Mercurial install,
127 and is optional,
128 but can be obtained with the following commands:
129 <blockquote>
130 <tt>
131 hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgforest-crew/overview/ <i>YourHgForest</i>
132 </tt>
133 </blockquote>
134 Once you have the file <tt>forest.py</tt>, you need to add these
135 lines to your <tt>${HOME}/.hgrc</tt> file:
136 <blockquote>
137 <tt>
138 [extensions]
139 <br>forest = <i>YourHgForest</i>/forest.py
140 </tt>
141 </blockquote>
142
143 <!-- ------------------------------------------------------ -->
144 <h3><a name="get_source">Getting the Source</a></h3>
145 <blockquote>
146 To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories
147 using the Forest Extension:
148 <blockquote>
149 <tt>
150 hg fclone http://openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
151 </tt>
152 </blockquote>
153 To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories
154 without using the Forest Extension:
155 <blockquote>
156 <tt>
157 hg clone http://openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
158 <br>cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
159 <br>sh ./get_source.sh
160 </tt>
161 </blockquote>
162 Once you have all the repositories, the
163 script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt>
164 can be used to repeat the same <tt>hg</tt>
165 command on every repository in the forest, e.g.
166 <blockquote>
167 <tt>
168 cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
169 <br>sh ./make/scripts/hgforest.sh pull -u
170 </tt>
171 </blockquote>
172 You may find this script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt> faster
173 than the <tt>hg</tt> forest commands provided by the
174 Forest Extension.

183 This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
Kelly O'Haird03960122008-12-01 15:28:36 -0800[diff] [blame]184 "minimum build environments" (MBE) for this
185 specific release of the JDK,
Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]186 Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
187 bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
188 of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
189 These usually represent what is often called the
190 least common denominator platforms.
191 It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these
192 specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
193 may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.

601 <ul>
602 <li>
Kelly O'Haircec00df2010-12-18 18:28:31 -0800[diff] [blame]603 In general, you need GNU make version 3.81 or newer.
Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]604 </li>
605 <li>
606 Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.
607 </li>
608 <li>
609 <strong>Linux:</strong>
610 The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
611 </li>
612 <li>
613 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
614 Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
615 If your Solaris system has the software
616 from the Solaris Companion CD installed,
617 you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
618 which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or
619 <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
Kelly O'Hair634c79b2008-07-09 15:42:00 -0700[diff] [blame]620 In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found

816 <h4><a name="paths">Windows Paths</a></h4>
817 <blockquote>
818 <strong>Windows:</strong>
819 Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
820 heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
821 of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
822 Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
823 there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
824 contains spaces.
825 Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
826 formula is difficult to explain.
827 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
828 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
829 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
830 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
831 <p>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame^]832 The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
833 to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]834 <p>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame^]835 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
836 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
837 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
838 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
839 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
840 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
841 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
842 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
843 So be careful with paths on Windows.

891 Depending on the platform, the OpenJDK build process has some basic
892 dependencies on components not part of the OpenJDK sources.
893 Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
894 an architecture.
895 Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set
896 to tell the makefiles where to locate the component.
897 In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
898 and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard

989 A certificates file named "cacerts"
990 represents a system-wide keystore with CA certificates.
991 In JDK and JRE
992 binary bundles, the "cacerts" file contains root CA certificates from
993 several public CAs (e.g., VeriSign, Thawte, and Baltimore).
994 The source contain a cacerts file
995 without CA root certificates.
996 Formal JDK builders will need to secure
997 permission from each public CA and include the certificates into their
998 own custom cacerts file.
999 Failure to provide a populated cacerts file
1000 will result in verification errors of a certificate chain during runtime.
1001 The variable

1101 official builds actually use VS2010. So for now, official builds are
1102 still using VS2003. No other compilers are known to build the entire JDK,
1103 including non-open portions.
1104 So for now you should be able to build with either VS2003 or VS2010.
1105 We do not guarantee that VS2008 will work, although there is sufficient
1106 makefile support to make at least basic JDK builds plausible.
1107 Visual Studio 2010 Express compilers are now able to build all the

1109 Windows binaries use the the 7.1 Windows SDK.<b>END WARNING.</b>
1110 <p>
1111 The 32-bit OpenJDK Windows build
1112 requires
1113 Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (VS2010) Professional
1114 Edition or Express compiler.
1115 The compiler and other tools are expected to reside
1116 in the location defined by the variable
1117 <tt>VS100COMNTOOLS</tt> which
1118 is set by the Microsoft Visual Studio installer.
1119 <p>
1120 Once the compiler is installed,
1121 it is recommended that you run <tt>VCVARS32.BAT</tt>
1122 to set the compiler environment variables
1123 <tt>INCLUDE</tt>,
1124 <tt>LIB</tt>, and
1125 <tt>PATH</tt>
1126 prior to building the
1127 OpenJDK.
1128 The above environment variables <b>MUST</b> be set.
1129 This compiler also contains the Windows SDK v 7.0a,
1130 which is an update to the Windows 7 SDK.

1263 <strong>Linux only:</strong>
1264 Version 0.9.1 or newer of the ALSA files are
1265 required for building the OpenJDK on Linux.
1266 These Linux files are usually available from an "alsa"
1267 of "libasound"

1269 the package provided by the particular version of Linux that
1270 you are using.
1271 The makefiles will check this emit a sanity error if it is
1272 missing or the wrong version.
1273 <p>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame^]1274 In particular, older Linux systems will likely not have the
1275 right version of ALSA installed, for example
1276 Redhat AS 2.1 U2 and SuSE 8.1 do not include a sufficiently
1277 recent ALSA distribution.
1278 On rpm-based systems, you can see if ALSA is installed by
1279 running this command:

Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame^]1285 If your distribution does not come with ALSA, and you can't
1286 find ALSA packages built for your particular system,
1287 you can try to install the pre-built ALSA rpm packages from
1288 <a href="http://www.freshrpms.net/" target="_blank">
1289 <tt>www.freshrpms.net</tt></a>.
1290 Note that installing a newer ALSA could
1291 break sound output if an older version of ALSA was previously
1292 installed on the system, but it will enable JDK compilation.

1764 <blockquote>
1765 A build can fail for any number of reasons.
1766 Most failures
1767 are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
1768 pre-build requirements have not been met.
1769 The first step in
1770 troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
1771 all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
1772 Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
1773 <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
1774 <p>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame^]1775 You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
1776 target.
1777 Any errors listed
1778 will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
1779 a flawed product build.
1780 We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
1781 sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
1782 further with your build.

Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]1817 </blockquote>
1818 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
1819 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
1820 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
1821 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
1822 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
1823 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
1824 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
1825 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
1826 in the 1.4 source code.

Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame^]1828 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
