<h3>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A MAJOR RE-WRITE of this document. !!!!!!!!!!!!!</h3>

Some Headlines:

<ul>

<li>

The build is now a "<code>configure && make</code>" style build

42

</li>

43

<li>

44

Any GNU make 3.81 or newer should work

45

</li>

46

<li>

47

The build should scale, i.e. more processors should

48

cause the build to be done in less wall-clock time

49

</li>

50

<li>

51

Nested or recursive make invocations have been significantly

52

reduced, as has the total fork/exec or spawning

53

of sub processes during the build

54

</li>

55

<li>

56

Windows MKS usage is no longer supported

57

</li>

<li>

59

Windows Visual Studio <code>vsvars*.bat</code> and

60

<code>vcvars*.bat</code> files are run automatically

61

</li>

62

<li>

63

Ant is no longer used when building the OpenJDK

64

</li>

65

Once you have all the repositories, keep in mind that each

repository is its own independent repository.

Kelly O'Hair

2013-02-23 10:47:01 -0800

You can also re-run <code>./get_source.sh</code> anytime to

pull over all the latest changesets in all the repositories.

160

This set of nested repositories has been given the term

161

"forest" and there are various ways to apply the same

162

<code>hg</code> command to each of the repositories.

163

For example, the script <code>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</code>

164

can be used to repeat the same <code>hg</code>

165

command on every repository, e.g.

166

167

<code>

cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>

260

<li>

261

Use of whitespace in source files

262

(.java, .c, .h, .cpp, and .hpp files)

263

is restricted.

264

No TABs, no trailing whitespace on lines, and files

265

should not terminate in more than one blank line.

266

</li>

267

<li>

268

Files with execute permissions should not be added

269

to the source repositories.

270

</li>

271

<li>

272

All generated files need to be kept isolated from

273

the files

274

maintained or managed by the source control system.

275

The standard area for generated files is the top level

276

<code>build/</code> directory.

277

</li>

278

<li>

279

The default build process should be to build the product

280

and nothing else, in one form, e.g. a product (optimized),

281

debug (non-optimized, -g plus assert logic), or

282

fastdebug (optimized, -g plus assert logic).

283

</li>

284

<li>

285

The <tt>.hgignore</tt> file in each repository

286

must exist and should

287

include <tt>^build/</tt>, <tt>^dist/</tt> and

288

optionally any

289

<tt>nbproject/private</tt> directories.

290

<strong>It should NEVER</strong> include

291

anything in the

292

293

or any managed directory area of a repository.

294

</li>

295

<li>

296

Directory names and file names should never contain

297

blanks or

298

non-printing characters.

299

</li>

300

<li>

301

Generated source or binary files should NEVER be added to

302

the repository (that includes <tt>javah</tt> output).

303

There are some exceptions to this rule, in particular

304

with some of the generated configure scripts.

305

</li>

306

<li>

307

Files not needed for typical building

308

or testing of the repository

309

should not be added to the repository.

319

320

The very first step in building the OpenJDK is making sure the

321

system itself has everything it needs to do OpenJDK builds.

322

Once a system is setup, it generally doesn't need to be done again.

323

<br>

324

Building the OpenJDK is now done with running a

325

<a href="#configure"><code>configure</code></a>

326

script which will try and find and verify you have everything

327

you need, followed by running

</blockquote>

Where possible the <code>configure</code> script will attempt to located the

338

various components in the default locations or via component

339

specific variable settings.

340

When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,

341

additional <code>configure</code> options may be necessary to help <code>configure</code>

342

find the necessary tools for the build, or you may need to

343

re-visit the setup of your system due to missing software

344

packages.

345

<br>

346

<strong>NOTE:</strong> The <code>configure</code> script

347

file does not have

348

execute permissions and will need to be explicitly run with

Before even attempting to use a system to build the OpenJDK

there are some very basic system setups needed.

For all systems:

Be sure the GNU make utility is version 3.81 or newer,

368

JDK called the <i>bootstrap JDK</i> or <i>boot JDK.</i>

369

The general rule is that the bootstrap JDK

370

must be an instance of the previous major

371

release of the JDK. In addition, there may be

372

a requirement to use a release at or beyond a

373

particular update level.

<b><i>Building JDK 8 requires use of a version

377

of JDK 7 that is at Update 7 or newer. JDK 8

378

developers should not use JDK 8 as the boot

379

JDK, to ensure that JDK 8 dependencies are

380

not introduced into the parts of the system

<a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html"

386

target="_blank">JDK 7 download site</a>.

387

For build performance reasons

388

is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available

389

on the local disk of the machine doing the build.

390

You should add its <code>bin</code> directory

391

to the <code>PATH</code> environment variable.

392

If <code>configure</code> has any issues finding this JDK, you may

393

need to use the <code>configure</code> option

<code>--with-boot-jdk</code>.

With Linux, try and favor the system packages over

building your own

or getting packages from other areas.

464

Most Linux builds should be possible with the system's

Note that some Linux systems have a habit of pre-populating

468

your environment variables for you, for example <code>JAVA_HOME</code>

469

might get pre-defined for you to refer to the JDK installed on

470

your Linux system.

471

You will need to unset <code>JAVA_HOME</code>.

472

It's a good idea to run <code>env</code> and verify the

473

environment variables you are getting from the default system

474

settings make sense for building the OpenJDK.

<h4><a name="windows">Windows</a></h4>

559

560

561

<h5><a name="toolkit">Windows Unix Toolkit</a></h5>

562

563

Building on Windows requires a Unix-like environment, notably a

564

Unix-like shell.

565

There are several such environments available of which

566

<a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> and

567

<a href="http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS">MinGW/MSYS</a> are

568

currently supported for

569

the OpenJDK build. One of the differences of these

570

systems from standard Windows tools is the way

571

they handle Windows path names, particularly path names which contain

572

spaces, backslashes as path separators and possibly drive letters.

573

Depending

574

on the use case and the specifics of each environment these path

575

problems can

576

be solved by a combination of quoting whole paths, translating

577

backslashes to

578

forward slashes, escaping backslashes with additional backslashes and

579

translating the path names to their

"8.3" version</a>.

<h6><a name="cygwin">CYGWIN</a></h6>

584

585

CYGWIN is an open source, Linux-like environment which tries to emulate

586

a complete POSIX layer on Windows. It tries to be smart about path names

587

and can usually handle all kinds of paths if they are correctly quoted

588

or escaped although internally it maps drive letters <code><drive>:</code>

589

to a virtual directory <code>/cygdrive/<drive></code>.

590

<p>

591

You can always use the <code>cygpath</code> utility to map pathnames with spaces

592

or the backslash character into the <code>C:/</code> style of pathname

593

(called 'mixed'), e.g. <code>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</code>.

594

</p>

595

<p>

596

Note that the use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to

597

setting <a href="#path"><code>PATH</code></a>. Normally on Windows

598

the <code>PATH</code> variable contains directories

599

separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux use ":").

600

With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"

601

cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <code>PATH</code> and

602

instead CYGWIN uses something like <code>/cygdrive/c/path</code>

603

which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.

604

</p>

605

<p>

606

The OpenJDK build requires CYGWIN version 1.7.16 or newer.

607

Information about CYGWIN can

608

be obtained from the CYGWIN website at

609

<a href="http://www.cygwin.com" target="_blank">www.cygwin.com</a>.

610

</p>

611

<p>

612

By default CYGWIN doesn't install all the tools required for building

613

the OpenJDK.

614

Along with the default installation, you need to install

the following tools.

<h6><a name="msys">MinGW/MSYS</a></h6>

714

715

MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows") is a collection of free Windows

716

specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that

717

allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any

718

3rd-party C runtime DLLs. MSYS is a supplement to MinGW which allows building

719

applications and programs which rely on traditional UNIX tools to

720

be present. Among others this includes tools like <code>bash</code>

721

and <code>make</code>.

722

See <a href="http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS" target="_blank">MinGW/MSYS</a>

723

for more information.

724

<p>

725

Like Cygwin, MinGW/MSYS can handle different types of path formats. They

726

are internally converted to paths with forward slashes and drive letters

727

<code><drive>:</code> replaced by a virtual

728

directory <code>/<drive></code>. Additionally, MSYS automatically

729

detects binaries compiled for the MSYS environment and feeds them with the

730

internal, Unix-style path names. If native Windows applications are called

731

from within MSYS programs their path arguments are automatically converted

732

back to Windows style path names with drive letters and backslashes as

733

path separators. This may cause problems for Windows applications which

734

use forward slashes as parameter separator (e.g. <code>cl /nologo /I</code>)

735

because MSYS may wrongly <a href="http://mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion">

736

replace such parameters by drive letters</a>.

737

</p>

738

<p>

739

In addition to the tools which will be installed

740

by default, you have

741

to manually install the

742

<code>msys-zip</code> and

743

<code>msys-unzip</code> packages.

744

This can be easily done with the MinGW command line installer:

745

746

<code>mingw-get.exe install msys-zip</code>

747

<br>

748

<code>mingw-get.exe install msys-unzip</code>

<h5><a name="vs2010">Visual Studio 2010 Compilers</a></h5>

755

756

<p>

757

The 32-bit and 64-bit OpenJDK Windows build requires

758

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (VS2010) Professional

759

Edition or Express compiler.

760

The compiler and other tools are expected to reside

761

in the location defined by the variable

762

<code>VS100COMNTOOLS</code> which

763

is set by the Microsoft Visual Studio installer.

764

</p>

765

<p>

766

Only the C++ part of VS2010 is needed.

767

Try to let the installation go to the default

768

install directory.

769

Always reboot your system after installing VS2010.

770

The system environment variable VS100COMNTOOLS

771

should be

772

set in your environment.

773

</p>

774

<p>

775

Make sure that TMP and TEMP are also set

776

in the environment

777

and refer to Windows paths that exist,

778

like <code>C:\temp</code>,

779

not <code>/tmp</code>, not <code>/cygdrive/c/temp</code>,

780

and not <code>C:/temp</code>.

781

<code>C:\temp</code> is just an example,

782

it is assumed that this area is

783

private to the user, so by default

784

after installs you should

785

see a unique user path in these variables.

The basic invocation of the <code>configure</code> script

804

looks like:

805

806

<b><code>bash ./configure [<i>options</i>]</code></b>

807

</blockquote>

808

This will create an output directory containing the

809

"configuration" and setup an area for the build result.

810

This directory typically looks like:

811

812

<b><code>build/linux-x64-normal-server-release</code></b>

813

</blockquote>

814

<code>configure</code> will try to figure out what system you are running on

815

and where all necessary build components are.

816

If you have all prerequisites for building installed,

817

it should find everything.

818

If it fails to detect any component automatically,

it will exit and inform you about the problem.

In JDK and JRE

several public CAs (e.g., VeriSign, Thawte, and Baltimore).

921

The source contain a cacerts file

923

permission from each public CA and include the certificates into their

own custom cacerts file.

926

Failure to provide a populated cacerts file

will result in verification errors of a certificate chain during runtime.

in <code>configure.ac</code> and various .m4 files in common/autoconf,

Why is the <code>generated-configure.sh</code> file checked in,

Kelly O'Hair

2013-02-23 10:47:01 -0800

[diff] [blame]

if it is generated?

<br>

If it was not generated, every user would need to have the autoconf

1206

tools installed, and re-generate the <code>configure</code> file

1207

as the first step.

1208

Our goal is to minimize the work needed to be done by the user

1209

to start building OpenJDK, and to minimize

1210

the number of external dependencies required.

Do you require a specific version of autoconf for regenerating

Yes, version 2.69 is required and should be easy

1220

enough to aquire on all supported operating

1221

systems. The reason for this is to avoid

1222

large spurious changes in <code>generated-configure.sh</code>.

</p>

<p>

How do you regenerate <code>generated-configure.sh</code>

1228

after making changes to the input files?

1229

<br>

1230

1231

Regnerating <code>generated-configure.sh</code>

1232

should always be done using the

1233

script <code>common/autoconf/autogen.sh</code> to

1234

ensure that the correct files get updated. This

1235

script should also be run after mercurial tries to

1236

merge <code>generated-configure.sh</code> as a

1237

merge of the generated file is not guaranteed to

1238

be correct.

</p>

<p>

What are the files in <code>common/makefiles/support/*</code> for?

1244

They look like gibberish.

1245

<br>

1246

1247

They are a somewhat ugly hack to compensate for command line length

1248

limitations on certain platforms (Windows, Solaris).

1249

Due to a combination of limitations in make and the shell,

1250

command lines containing too many files will not work properly.

1251

These

1252

helper files are part of an elaborate hack that will compress the

1253

command line in the makefile and then uncompress it safely.

1254

We're

1255

not proud of it, but it does fix the problem.

1256

If you have any better suggestions, we're all ears! :-)

<p>

I want to see the output of the commands that make runs,

1262

like in the old build. How do I do that?

1290

When do I have to re-run <code>configure</code>?

1291

<br>

1292

1293

Normally you will run <code>configure</code> only once for creating a

1294

configuration.

1295

You need to re-run configuration only if you want to change any

1296

configuration options,

1297

or if you pull down changes to the <code>configure</code> script.

</p>

<p>

I have added a new source file. Do I need to modify the makefiles?

1303

<br>

1304

1305

Normally, no. If you want to create e.g. a new native

1306

library,

1307

you will need to modify the makefiles. But for normal file

1308

additions or removals, no changes are needed. There are certan

1309

exceptions for some native libraries where the source files are spread

Erik Joelsson

2013-08-26 13:43:27 +0200

1310

over many directories which also contain sources for other

Kelly O'Hair

2013-02-23 10:47:01 -0800

1311

libraries. In these cases it was simply easier to create include lists

Erik Joelsson

2013-08-26 13:43:27 +0200

1312

rather than excludes.

<p>

When I run <code>configure --help</code>, I see many strange options,

1318

like <code>--dvidir</code>. What is this?

1319

<br>

1320

1321

Configure provides a slew of options by default, to all projects

1322

that use autoconf. Most of them are not used in OpenJDK,

1323

so you can safely ignore them. To list only OpenJDK specific features,

1324

use <code>configure --help=short</code> instead.

</p>

<p>

<code>configure</code> provides OpenJDK-specific features such as

Erik Joelsson

2013-08-26 13:43:27 +0200

[diff] [blame]

1330

<code>--with-builddeps-server</code> that are not

1332

1333

1334

Try them out if you like! But be aware that most of these are

1335

experimental features.

1336

Many of them don't do anything at all at the moment; the option

Erik Joelsson

2013-08-26 13:43:27 +0200

1337

is just a placeholder. Others depend on

2013-02-23 10:47:01 -0800

[diff] [blame]

1338

pieces of code or infrastructure that is currently

1339

not ready for prime time.

</p>

<p>

How will you make sure you don't break anything?

1345

<br>

1346

1347

We have a script that compares the result of the new build system

1348

with the result of the old. For most part, we aim for (and achieve)

1349

byte-by-byte identical output. There are however technical issues

1350

with e.g. native binaries, which might differ in a byte-by-byte

1351

comparison, even

1352

when building twice with the old build system.

1353

For these, we compare relevant aspects

1354

(e.g. the symbol table and file size).

1355

Note that we still don't have 100%

1356

equivalence, but we're close.

</p>

<p>

I noticed this thing X in the build that looks very broken by design.

1362

Why don't you fix it?

1363

<br>

1364

1365

Our goal is to produce a build output that is as close as

1366

technically possible to the old build output.

1367

If things were weird in the old build,

1368

they will be weird in the new build.

1369

Often, things were weird before due to obscurity,

1370

but in the new build system the weird stuff comes up to the surface.

1371

The plan is to attack these things at a later stage,

1372

after the new build system is established.

</p>

<p>

The code in the new build system is not that well-structured.

Will you fix this?

<br>

Yes! The new build system has grown bit by bit as we converted

1382

the old system. When all of the old build system is converted,

1383

we can take a step back and clean up the structure of the new build

1384

system. Some of this we plan to do before replacing the old build

1385

system and some will need to wait until after.

1389

1390

Is anything able to use the results of the new build's default make target?

1391

<br>

1392

1393

Yes, this is the minimal (or roughly minimal)

1394

set of compiled output needed for a developer to actually

1395

execute the newly built JDK. The idea is that in an incremental

1396

development fashion, when doing a normal make,

1397

you should only spend time recompiling what's changed

1398

(making it purely incremental) and only do the work that's

1399

needed to actually run and test your code.

1400

The packaging stuff that is part of the <code>images</code>

1401

target is not needed for a normal developer who wants to

1402

test his new code. Even if it's quite fast, it's still unnecessary.

1403

We're targeting sub-second incremental rebuilds! ;-)

1404

(Or, well, at least single-digit seconds...)

</p>

<p>

I usually set a specific environment variable when building,

1410

but I can't find the equivalent in the new build.

What should I do?

1424

<p>Building OpenJDK requires a lot of horsepower.

1425

Some of the build tools can be adjusted to utilize more or less

1426

of resources such as

1427

parallel threads and memory.

1428

The <code>configure</code> script analyzes your system and selects reasonable

1429

values for such options based on your hardware.

1430

If you encounter resource problems, such as out of memory conditions,

1431

you can modify the detected values with:</p>

<ul>

<li>

<b><code>--with-num-cores</code></b>

1436

—

1437

number of cores in the build system,

1438

e.g. <code>--with-num-cores=8</code>

1439

</li>

1440

<li>

1441

<b><code>--with-memory-size</code></b>

1442

— memory (in MB) available in the build system,

1443

e.g. <code>--with-memory-size=1024</code>

</li>

</ul>

<p>It might also be necessary to specify the JVM arguments passed

1448

to the Bootstrap JDK, using e.g.

1449

<code>--with-boot-jdk-jvmargs="-Xmx8G -enableassertions"</code>.

1450

Doing this will override the default JVM arguments

1451

passed to the Bootstrap JDK.</p>

1452

1453

1454

<p>One of the top goals of the new build system is to improve the

1455

build performance and decrease the time needed to build. This will

1456

soon also apply to the java compilation when the Smart Javac wrapper

1457

is making its way into jdk8. It can be tried in the build-infra

1458

repository already. You are likely to find that the new build system

1459

is faster than the old one even without this feature.</p>

1460

1461

<p>At the end of a successful execution of <code>configure</code>,

1462

you will get a performance summary,

1463

indicating how well the build will perform. Here you will

1464

also get performance hints.

1465

If you want to build fast, pay attention to those!</p>

1466

1467

<h4>Building with ccache</h4>

1468

1469

<p>A simple way to radically speed up compilation of native code

1470

(typically hotspot and native libraries in JDK) is to install

1471

ccache. This will cache and reuse prior compilation results, if the

1472

source code is unchanged. However, ccache versions prior to 3.1.4

1473

does not work correctly with the precompiled headers used in

1474

OpenJDK. So if your platform supports ccache at 3.1.4 or later, we

1475

highly recommend installing it. This is currently only supported on

1476

linux.</p>

1477

1478

<h4>Building on local disk</h4>

1479

1480

<p>If you are using network shares, e.g. via NFS, for your source code,

1481

make sure the build directory is situated on local disk.

1482

The performance

1483

penalty is extremely high for building on a network share,

1484

close to unusable.</p>

1485

1486

<h4>Building only one JVM</h4>

1487

1488

<p>The old build builds multiple JVMs on 32-bit systems (client and

1489

server; and on Windows kernel as well). In the new build we have

1490

changed this default to only build server when it's available. This

1491

improves build times for those not interested in multiple JVMs. To

1492

mimic the old behavior on platforms that support it,

1493

use <code>--with-jvm-variants=client,server</code>.</p>

1494

1495

<h4>Selecting the number of cores to build on</h4>

1496

1497

<p>By default, <code>configure</code> will analyze your machine and run the make

1498

process in parallel with as many threads as you have cores. This

1499

behavior can be overridden, either "permanently" (on a <code>configure</code>

1500

basis) using <code>--with-num-cores=N</code> or for a single build

1501

only (on a make basis), using <code>make JOBS=N</code>.</p>

1502

1503

<p>If you want to make a slower build just this time, to save some CPU

1504

power for other processes, you can run

1505

e.g. <code>make JOBS=2</code>. This will force the makefiles

1506

to only run 2 parallel processes, or even <code>make JOBS=1</code>

1507

which will disable parallelism.</p>

1508

1509

<p>If you want to have it the other way round, namely having slow

1510

builds default and override with fast if you're

1511

impatient, you should call <code>configure</code> with

1512

<code>--with-num-cores=2</code>, making 2 the default.

1513

If you want to run with more

1514

cores, run <code>make JOBS=8</code></p>

<h4>Solving build problems</h4>

1522

1523

1524

If the build fails (and it's not due to a compilation error in

1525

a source file you've changed), the first thing you should do

1526

is to re-run the build with more verbosity.

1527

Do this by adding <code>LOG=debug</code> to your make command line.

1528

<br>

1529

The build log (with both stdout and stderr intermingled,

1530

basically the same as you see on your console) can be found as

1531

<code>build.log</code> in your build directory.

1532

<br>

1533

You can ask for help on build problems with the new build system

on either the

build-dev</a>

or the

build-infra-dev</a>

mailing lists. Please include the relevant parts

1541

of the build log.

1542

<br>

1543

A build can fail for any number of reasons.

1544

Most failures

1545

are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the

1546

pre-build requirements have not been met.

1547

The first step in

1548

troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied

1549

all the pre-build requirements for your platform.

1550

Scanning the <code>configure</code> log is a good first step, making

1551

sure that what it found makes sense for your system.

1552

Look for strange error messages or any difficulties that

1553

<code>configure</code> had in finding things.

1554

<br>

1555

Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly

1556

described

1557

below, with suggestions for remedies.

1558

<ul>

1559

<li>

1560

<b>Corrupted Bundles on Windows:</b>

1561

1562

Some virus scanning software has been known to

1563

corrupt the

1564

downloading of zip bundles.

1565

It may be necessary to disable the 'on access' or

1566

'real time'

1567

virus scanning features to prevent this corruption.

1568

This type of "real time" virus scanning can also

1569

slow down the

1570

build process significantly.

1571

Temporarily disabling the feature, or excluding the build

1572

output directory may be necessary to get correct and

faster builds.

</blockquote>

<b>Slow Builds:</b>

If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many

1580

simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the

1581

<code>JOBS=1</code> on the <code>make</code> command line.

1582

Then try increasing the count slowly to an acceptable

1583

level for your system. Also:

1584

1585

Creating the javadocs can be very slow,

1586

if you are running

1587

javadoc, consider skipping that step.

1588

<br>

1589

Faster CPUs, more RAM, and a faster DISK usually helps.

1590

The VM build tends to be CPU intensive

1591

(many C++ compiles),

1592

and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.

1593

<br>

1594

Faster compiles are possible using a tool called

If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.

1612

These warnings can occur when the clock on the build

1613

machine is out of

1614

sync with the timestamps on the source files.

1615

Other errors, apparently

1616

unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew,

1617

can occur along with

1618

the clock skew warnings.

1619

These secondary errors may tend to obscure the

1620

fact that the true root cause of the problem

1621

is an out-of-sync clock.

1622

<p>

1623

If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the

1624

build

1625

machine, run "<code><i>gmake</i> clobber</code>"

or delete the directory

1627

This file often describes specific requirements for what we

1796

call the

1797

"minimum build environments" (MBE) for this

1798

specific release of the JDK.

1799

What is listed below is what the Oracle Release

1800

Engineering Team will use to build the Oracle JDK product.

1801

Building with the MBE will hopefully generate the most compatible

1802

bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations

1803

of the same base OS and hardware architecture.

1804

In some cases, these represent what is often called the

1805

least common denominator, but each Operating System has different

1806

aspects to it.

[diff] [blame]

1808

In all cases, the Bootstrap JDK version minimum is critical,

1809

we cannot guarantee builds will work with older Bootstrap JDK's.

1810

Also in all cases, more RAM and more processors is better,

1811

the minimums listed below are simply recommendations.

1812

<p>

1813

With Solaris and Mac OS X, the version listed below is the

1814

oldest release we can guarantee builds and works, and the

1815

specific version of the compilers used could be critical.

1816

<p>

1817

With Windows the critical aspect is the Visual Studio compiler

1818

used, which due to it's runtime, generally dictates what Windows

1819

systems can do the builds and where the resulting bits can

1820

be used.<br>

1821

<b>NOTE: We expect a change here off these older Windows OS releases

1822

and to a 'less older' one, probably Windows 2008R2 X64.</b>

1823

<p>

1824

With Linux, it was just a matter of picking a

1825

stable distribution that is a good representative for Linux

1826

in general.<br>

1827

<b>NOTE: We expect a change here from Fedora 9 to something else,

1828

but it has not been completely determined yet, possibly

1829

Ubuntu 12.04 X64, unbiased community feedback would be welcome on

1830

what a good choice would be here.</b>

1831

<p>

1832

It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these

1833

specific versions, and in fact creating these specific versions

1834

may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.

1835

It is expected that developers are more often using the more

1836

recent releases and distributions of these operating systems.

1837

<p>

1838

Compilation problems with newer or different C/C++ compilers is a

1839

common problem.

1840

Similarly, compilation problems related to changes to the

1841

<code>/usr/include</code> or system header files is also a

1842

common problem with older, newer, or unreleased OS versions.

1843

Please report these types of problems as bugs so that they

1844

can be dealt with accordingly.

After installing <a href="http://opensolaris.org">OpenSolaris</a> 2009.06

2088

you need to install several build dependencies.

2089

The simplest way to install the build dependencies is to

2090

execute the following commands:

2091

2092

<code>pfexec pkg install SUNWgmake SUNWj7dev

2093

sunstudioexpress SUNWcups SUNWzip SUNWunzip SUNWxwhl

2094

SUNWxorg-headers SUNWaudh SUNWfreetype2</code>

2095

</blockquote>

2096

<p>

2097

In addition, it is necessary to set a few environment

2098

variables for the build:

2099

2100

<code>export LANG=C</code>

2101

<br>

2102

<code>export PATH="/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin:${PATH}"</code>
