| 96 | <blockquote> |
| 97 | This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the |
| 98 | "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK. |
| 99 | Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible |
| 100 | bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations |
| 101 | of the same base OS and hardware architecture. |
| 102 | These usually represent what is often called the |
| 103 | least common denominator platforms. |
| 104 | It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these |
| 105 | specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms |
| 106 | may be difficult due to the age of some of this software. |
| 107 | <p> |
| 108 | The minimum OS and C/C++ compiler versions needed for building the |
| 109 | OpenJDK: |

| Kelly O'Hair | bf8a41a | 2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 404 | The Makefiles in the OpenJDK are only valid when used with the |
| 405 | GNU version of the utility command <tt>make</tt> |
| 406 | (<tt><i>gmake</i></tt>). |
| 407 | A few notes about using GNU make: |
| 408 | <ul> |
| 409 | <li> |
| 410 | In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer. |
| 411 | </li> |
| 412 | <li> |
| 413 | Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>. |
| 414 | </li> |
| 415 | <li> |
| 416 | <strong>Linux:</strong> |
| 417 | The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you. |
| 418 | </li> |
| 419 | <li> |
| 420 | <strong>Solaris:</strong> |
| 421 | Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris. |
| 422 | If your Solaris system has the software |
| 423 | from the Solaris Companion CD installed, |
| 424 | you should use <tt>gmake</tt> |
| 425 | which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or |
| 426 | <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory. |
| 427 | </li> |
| 428 | <li> |
| 429 | <strong>Windows:</strong> |
| 430 | Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell. |
| 431 | <br> |
| 432 | <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may |
| 433 | not work due to a lack of support for drive letter paths |
| 434 | like <tt>C:/</tt>. See |
| 435 | <a href="#gmake">section on gmake</a>. |
| 436 | Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer |
| 437 | version that has this problem fixed. |
| 438 | The older 3.80 version of make.exe can be downloaded with this |

| 594 | <blockquote> |
| 595 | <strong>Windows:</strong> |
| 596 | Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very |
| 597 | heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit |
| 598 | of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames. |
| 599 | Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and |
| 600 | there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that |
| 601 | contains spaces. |
| 602 | Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the |
| 603 | formula is difficult to explain. |
| 604 | You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces |
| 605 | or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname |
| 606 | (called 'mixed'), e.g. |
| 607 | <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>. |
| 608 | <p> |
| 609 | The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied |
| 610 | to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically. |
| 611 | <p> |
| 612 | Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to |
| 613 | setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows |
| 614 | the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories |
| 615 | separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":"). |
| 616 | With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path" |
| 617 | cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and |
| 618 | instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt> |
| 619 | which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands. |
| 620 | So be careful with paths on Windows. |

| 1443 | <h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2> |
| 1444 | <blockquote> |
| 1445 | A build can fail for any number of reasons. |
| 1446 | Most failures |
| 1447 | are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the |
| 1448 | pre-build requirements have not been met. |
| 1449 | The first step in |
| 1450 | troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied |
| 1451 | all the pre-build requirements for your platform. |
| 1452 | Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the |
| 1453 | <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>. |
| 1454 | <p> |
| 1455 | You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt> |
| 1456 | target. |
| 1457 | Any errors listed |
| 1458 | will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in |
| 1459 | a flawed product build. |
| 1460 | We strongly encourage you to evaluate every |
| 1461 | sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed |
| 1462 | further with your build. |
| 1463 | <p> |
| 1464 | Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described |
| 1465 | below, with suggestions for remedies. |
| 1466 | <ul> |
| 1467 | <li> |
| 1468 | <b>Slow Builds:</b> |
| 1469 | <blockquote> |
| 1470 | If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many |
| 1471 | simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt> |
| 1472 | variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU |
| 1473 | machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably |
| 1474 | not a good idea). |
| 1475 | <p> |
| 1476 | Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running |
| 1477 | javadoc, consider skipping that step. |
| 1478 | <p> |
| 1479 | Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too. |
| 1480 | The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles), |
| 1481 | and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive. |
| 1482 | <p> |
| 1483 | Faster compiles are possible using a tool called |
| 1484 | <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>. |
| 1485 | </blockquote> |
| 1486 | </li> |
| 1487 | <li> |
| 1488 | <b>File time issues:</b> |
| 1489 | <blockquote> |
| 1490 | If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g. |
| 1491 | <blockquote> |
| 1492 | <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in |
| 1493 | the future.</tt> |
| 1494 | <br> |
| 1495 | <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may |
| 1496 | be incomplete.</tt> |
| 1497 | </blockquote> |
| 1498 | These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of |
| 1499 | sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently |
| 1500 | unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with |
| 1501 | the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the |
| 1502 | fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock. |
| 1503 | For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old |
| 1504 | version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors |
| 1505 | when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword |
| 1506 | in the 1.4 source code. |
| 1507 | <p> |
| 1508 | If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build |
| 1509 | machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory |
| 1510 | containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning. |
| 1511 | </blockquote> |

| 1514 | <b>Error message: <tt>Trouble writing out table to disk</tt></b> |
| 1515 | <blockquote> |
| 1516 | Increase the amount of swap space on your build machine. |
| 1517 | </blockquote> |
| 1518 | </li> |
| 1519 | <li> |
| 1520 | <b>Error Message: <tt>libstdc++ not found:</tt></b> |
| 1521 | <blockquote> |
| 1522 | This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library. |
| 1523 | This is installed as part of a specific package |
| 1524 | (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386). |
| 1525 | By default some 64bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora) |
| 1526 | only install the 64bit version of the libstdc++ package. |
| 1527 | Various parts of the JDK build require a static |
| 1528 | link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum |
