Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]109 Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
110 bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
111 of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
112 These usually represent what is often called the
113 least common denominator platforms.
114 It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these
115 specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
116 may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.

198 These same sources do indeed build on many more systems than the
199 above older generation systems, again the above is just a minimum.
200 <p>
201 Compilation problems with newer or different C/C++ compilers is a
202 common problem.
203 Similarly, compilation problems related to changes to the
204 <tt>/usr/include</tt> or system header files is also a
205 common problem with newer or unreleased OS versions.
206 Please report these types of problems as bugs so that they
207 can be dealt with accordingly.

484 Building the OpenJDK
485 is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
486 command line and various

488 to where various components have been installed.
489 Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various

491 variable settings.
492 When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
493 the various

523 A few notes about using GNU make:
524 <ul>
525 <li>
526 In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer.
527 </li>
528 <li>
529 Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.
530 </li>
531 <li>
532 <strong>Linux:</strong>
533 The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
534 </li>
535 <li>
536 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
537 Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
538 If your Solaris system has the software
539 from the Solaris Companion CD installed,
540 you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
541 which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or
542 <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
Kelly O'Hair634c79b2008-07-09 15:42:00 -0700[diff] [blame]543 In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found

Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]553 Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer
Kelly O'Haird03960122008-12-01 15:28:36 -0800[diff] [blame]554 version that has this problem fixed.

736 <blockquote>
737 <strong>Windows:</strong>
738 Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
739 heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
740 of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
741 Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
742 there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
743 contains spaces.
744 Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
745 formula is difficult to explain.
746 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
747 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
748 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
749 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
750 <p>
751 The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
752 to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
753 <p>
754 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
755 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
756 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
757 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
758 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
759 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
760 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
761 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
762 So be careful with paths on Windows.

814 Depending on the platform, the OpenJDK build process has some basic
815 dependencies on components not part of the OpenJDK sources.
816 Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
817 an architecture.
818 Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set
819 to tell the makefiles where to locate the component.
820 In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
821 and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard
822 install locations or through component specific variables.

1123 Redhat AS 2.1 U2 and SuSE 8.1 do not include a sufficiently
1124 recent ALSA distribution.
1125 On rpm-based systems, you can see if ALSA is installed by
1126 running this command:
1127 <pre>
1128 <tt>rpm -qa | grep alsa</tt>
1129 </pre>
1130 Both <tt>alsa</tt> and <tt>alsa-devel</tt> packages are needed.
1131 <p>
1132 If your distribution does not come with ALSA, and you can't
1133 find ALSA packages built for your particular system,
1134 you can try to install the pre-built ALSA rpm packages from
1135 <a href="http://www.freshrpms.net/" target="_blank">
1136 <tt>www.freshrpms.net</tt></a>.
1137 Note that installing a newer ALSA could
1138 break sound output if an older version of ALSA was previously
1139 installed on the system, but it will enable JDK compilation.

1141 Installation: execute as root<br>
1142 [i586]: <code>rpm -Uv --force alsa-lib-devel-0.9.1-rh61.i386.rpm</code><br>
1143 [x64]: <code>rpm -Uv --force alsa-lib-devel-0.9.8-amd64.x86_64.rpm</code><br>

1146 [x64]:<code>rpm -ev alsa-lib-devel-0.9.8-amd64</code><br>
1147 Make sure that you do not link to the static library
1148 (<tt>libasound.a</tt>),
1149 by verifying that the dynamic library (<tt>libasound.so</tt>) is
1150 correctly installed in <tt>/usr/lib</tt>.
1151 </blockquote>
1152 As a last resort you can go to the
1153 <a href="http://www.alsa-project.org" target="_blank">
1154 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Site</a> and build it from
1155 source.
1156 <blockquote>
1157 Download driver and library
1158 source tarballs from
1159 <a href="http://www.alsa-project.org" target="_blank">ALSA's homepage</a>.
1160 As root, execute the following
1161 commands (you may need to adapt the version number):
1162 <pre>
1163 <tt>
1164 $ tar xjf alsa-driver-0.9.1.tar.bz2
1165 $ cd alsa-driver-0.9.1

1168 $ cd ..
1169 $ tar xjf alsa-lib-0.9.1.tar.bz2
1170 $ cd alsa-lib-0.9.1
1171 $ ./configure
1172 $ make install
1173 </tt>
1174 </pre>
1175 Should one of the above steps fail, refer to the documentation on
1176 ALSA's home page.
1177 </blockquote>
1178 Note that this is a minimum install that enables
1179 building the JDK platform. To actually use ALSA sound drivers, more
1180 steps are necessary as outlined in the documentation on ALSA's homepage.
1181 <p>
1182 ALSA can be uninstalled by executing <tt>make uninstall</tt> first in
1183 the <tt>alsa-lib-0.9.1</tt> directory and then in
1184 <tt>alsa-driver-0.9.1</tt>.
1185 </blockquote>
1186 There are no ALT* variables to change the assumed locations of ALSA,
1187 the makefiles will expect to find the ALSA include files and library at:
1188 <tt>/usr/include/alsa</tt> and <tt>/usr/lib/libasound.so</tt>.

1356 <a href="#gmake"><tt><i>gmake</i></tt></a>
1357 command.

1380 <p>
1381 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
1382 Note that ARCH_DATA_MODEL is really only needed on Solaris to
1383 indicate you want to built the 64-bit version.
1384 And before the Solaris 64-bit binaries can be used, they
1385 must be merged with the binaries from a separate 32-bit build.
1386 The merged binaries may then be used in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with
1387 the selection occurring at runtime
1388 with the <tt>-d32</tt> or <tt>-d64</tt> options.

1633 <h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
1634 <blockquote>
1635 A build can fail for any number of reasons.
1636 Most failures
1637 are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
1638 pre-build requirements have not been met.
1639 The first step in
1640 troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
1641 all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
1642 Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
1643 <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
1644 <p>
1645 You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
1646 target.
1647 Any errors listed
1648 will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
1649 a flawed product build.
1650 We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
1651 sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
1652 further with your build.
1653 <p>
1654 Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
1655 below, with suggestions for remedies.
1656 <ul>
1657 <li>
1658 <b>Slow Builds:</b>
1659 <blockquote>
1660 If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
1661 simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
1662 variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
1663 machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
1664 not a good idea).
1665 <p>
1666 Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
1667 javadoc, consider skipping that step.
1668 <p>
1669 Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
1670 The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
1671 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
1672 <p>
1673 Faster compiles are possible using a tool called
1674 <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>.
1675 </blockquote>
1676 </li>
1677 <li>
1678 <b>File time issues:</b>
1679 <blockquote>
1680 If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
1681 <blockquote>
1682 <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
1683 the future.</tt>
1684 <br>
1685 <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
1686 be incomplete.</tt>
1687 </blockquote>
1688 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
1689 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
1690 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
1691 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
1692 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
1693 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
1694 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
1695 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
1696 in the 1.4 source code.
1697 <p>
1698 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
1699 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
1700 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

1705 <blockquote>

1708 </li>
1709 <li>
1710 <b>Error Message: <tt>libstdc++ not found:</tt></b>
1711 <blockquote>
1712 This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
1713 This is installed as part of a specific package
1714 (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
Kelly O'Haird03960122008-12-01 15:28:36 -0800[diff] [blame]1715 By default some 64-bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
1716 only install the 64-bit version of the libstdc++ package.
Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]1717 Various parts of the JDK build require a static
1718 link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
1719 portability of the built images.
