117 The OpenJDK sources are maintained with the revision control system
118 <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial">Mercurial</a>.
119 If you are new to Mercurial, please see the
120 <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BeginnersGuides">Beginner Guides</a>
Kelly O'Hairf240c002011-03-22 08:15:39 -0700[diff] [blame^]121 or refer to the <a href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial Book</a>.
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]122 The first few chapters of the book provide an excellent overview of
123 Mercurial, what it is and how it works.
124 <br>
125 For using Mercurial with the OpenJDK refer to the
Kelly O'Hairf240c002011-03-22 08:15:39 -0700[diff] [blame^]126 <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/guide/repositories.html#installConfig">
127 Developer Guide: Installing and Configuring Mercurial</a>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]128 section for more information.
129 The Forest Extension is not part of the Mercurial install,
130 and is optional,
131 but can be obtained with the following commands:
132 <blockquote>
133 <tt>
134 hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgforest-crew/overview/ <i>YourHgForest</i>
135 </tt>
136 </blockquote>
137 Once you have the file <tt>forest.py</tt>, you need to add these
138 lines to your <tt>${HOME}/.hgrc</tt> file:
139 <blockquote>
140 <tt>
141 [extensions]
142 <br>forest = <i>YourHgForest</i>/forest.py
143 </tt>
144 </blockquote>

148 <blockquote>
149 To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories
150 using the Forest Extension:
151 <blockquote>
152 <tt>
Kelly O'Hairf240c002011-03-22 08:15:39 -0700[diff] [blame^]153 hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]154 </tt>
155 </blockquote>
156 To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories
157 without using the Forest Extension:
158 <blockquote>
159 <tt>
Kelly O'Hairf240c002011-03-22 08:15:39 -0700[diff] [blame^]160 hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]161 <br>cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
162 <br>sh ./get_source.sh
163 </tt>
164 </blockquote>
165 Once you have all the repositories, the
166 script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt>
167 can be used to repeat the same <tt>hg</tt>
168 command on every repository in the forest, e.g.
169 <blockquote>
170 <tt>
171 cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
172 <br>sh ./make/scripts/hgforest.sh pull -u
173 </tt>
174 </blockquote>
175 You may find this script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt> faster
176 than the <tt>hg</tt> forest commands provided by the
177 Forest Extension.

191 of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
192 These usually represent what is often called the
193 least common denominator platforms.
194 It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these
195 specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
196 may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.

547 The repositories <tt>jaxp</tt> and <tt>jaxws</tt> actually
548 do not contain the sources for JAXP or JAX-WS.
549 These products have their own open source procedures at their
550 <a href="http://jaxp.java.net/">JAXP</a> and
551 <a href="http://jax-ws.java.net/">JAX-WS</a> home pages.
552 The OpenJDK project does need access to these sources to build
553 a complete JDK image because JAXP and JAX-WS are part of the JDK.
554 The current process for delivery of the JAXP and JAX-WS sources
555 involves so called "source drop bundles" downloaded from a public
556 website.
557 There are many reasons for this current mechanism, and it is
558 understood that this is not ideal for the open source community.
559 It is possible this process could change in the future.

602 The ant scripts that build <tt>jaxp</tt> and <tt>jaxws</tt>
603 will attempt to locate these zip bundles from the directory
604 in the environment variable
605 <tt><a href="#ALT_DROPS_DIR">ALT_DROPS_DIR</a></tt>.
606 The checksums protect from getting the wrong, corrupted, or
607 improperly modified sources.
608 Once the sources are made available, the population will not
609 happen again unless a <tt>make clobber</tt> is requested
610 or the <tt>jaxp/drop/</tt> or <tt>jaxws/drop/</tt>
611 directory is explicitly deleted.
612 <br>
613 <b>NOTE:</b> The default Makefile and ant script behavior
614 is to NOT download these bundles from the public http site.
615 In general, doing downloads
616 during the build process is not advised, it creates too much
617 unpredictability in the build process.
618 However, you can use <tt>make ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true</tt> to
619 tell the ant script that the download of the zip bundle is
620 acceptable.
621 </p>
622 <p>
623 The recommended procedure for keeping a cache of these
624 source bundles would be to download them once, place them
625 in a directory outside the repositories, and then set
626 <tt><a href="#ALT_DROPS_DIR">ALT_DROPS_DIR</a></tt> to refer
627 to that directory.
628 These drop bundles do change occasionally, so the newer
629 bundles may need to be added to this area from time to time.

923 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
924 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
925 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
926 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.

Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]931 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
932 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
933 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
934 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
935 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
936 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
937 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
938 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
939 So be careful with paths on Windows.

981 <blockquote>
982 Depending on the platform, the OpenJDK build process has some basic
983 dependencies on components not part of the OpenJDK sources.
984 Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
985 an architecture.
986 Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set
987 to tell the makefiles where to locate the component.
988 In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
989 and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard
990 install locations or through component specific variables.

1054 A certificates file named "cacerts"
1055 represents a system-wide keystore with CA certificates.
1056 In JDK and JRE
1057 binary bundles, the "cacerts" file contains root CA certificates from
1058 several public CAs (e.g., VeriSign, Thawte, and Baltimore).
1059 The source contain a cacerts file
1060 without CA root certificates.
1061 Formal JDK builders will need to secure
1062 permission from each public CA and include the certificates into their
1063 own custom cacerts file.
1064 Failure to provide a populated cacerts file
1065 will result in verification errors of a certificate chain during runtime.
1066 The variable

1068 can be used to override the default location of the
1069 cacerts file that will get placed in your build.

1540 Once a machine is setup to build the OpenJDK,
1541 the steps to create the build are fairly simple.
1542 The various ALT settings can either be made into variables

1570 Note that ARCH_DATA_MODEL is really only needed on Solaris to
1571 indicate you want to built the 64-bit version.
1572 And before the Solaris 64-bit binaries can be used, they
1573 must be merged with the binaries from a separate 32-bit build.
1574 The merged binaries may then be used in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with
1575 the selection occurring at runtime
1576 with the <tt>-d32</tt> or <tt>-d64</tt> options.

1800 You don't have to use all these hints and tips, and in fact people do actually
1801 build with systems that contradict these, but they might prove to be
1802 helpful to some.
1803 <ul>
1804 <li>
1805 If <tt>make sanity</tt> does not work, find out why, fix that
1806 before going any further. Or at least understand what the
1807 complaints are from it.
1808 </li>
1809 <li>
1810 JDK: Keep in mind that you are building a JDK, but you need
1811 a JDK (BOOTDIR JDK) to build this JDK.
1812 </li>
1813 <li>
1814 Ant: The ant utility is a java application and besides having
1815 ant available to you, it's important that ant finds the right
1816 java to run with. Make sure you can type <tt>ant -version</tt>
1817 and get clean results with no error messages.
1818 </li>
1819 <li>
1820 Linux: Try and favor the system packages over building your own
1821 or getting packages from other areas.
1822 Most Linux builds should be possible with the system's
1823 available packages.
1824 </li>
1825 <li>
1826 Solaris: Typically you will need to get compilers on your systems
1827 and occasionally GNU make 3.81 if a gmake binary is not available.
1828 The gmake binary might not be 3.81, be careful.
1829 </li>
1830 <li>
1831 Windows VS2010:
1832 <ul>
1833 <li>
1834 Only the C++ part of VS2010 is needed.
1835 Try to let the installation go to the default install directory.
1836 Always reboot your system after installing VS2010.
1837 The system environment variable VS100COMNTOOLS should be
1838 set in your environment.
1839 </li>
1840 <li>
1841 Make sure that TMP and TEMP are also set in the environment
1842 and refer to Windows paths that exist, like <tt>C:\temp</tt>,
1843 not <tt>/tmp</tt>, not <tt>/cygdrive/c/temp</tt>, and not <tt>C:/temp</tt>.
1844 <tt>C:\temp</tt> is just an example, it is assumed that this area is
1845 private to the user, so by default after installs you should
1846 see a unique user path in these variables.
1847 </li>
1848 <li>
1849 You need to use vsvars32.bat or vsvars64.bat to get the
1850 PATH, INCLUDE, LIB, LIBPATH, and WINDOWSSDKDIR
1851 variables set in your shell environment.
1852 These bat files are not easy to use from a shell environment.
1853 However, there is a script placed in the root jdk7 repository called
1854 vsvars.sh that can help, it should only be done once in a shell
1855 that will be doing the build, e.g.<br>
1856 <tt>sh ./make/scripts/vsvars.sh -v10 > settings<br>
1857 eval `cat settings`</tt><br>
1858 Or just <tt>eval `sh ./make/scripts/vsvars.sh -v10`</tt>.

1899 <blockquote>
1900 Some virus scanning software has been known to corrupt the
1901 downloading of zip bundles.
1902 It may be necessary to disable the 'on access' or 'real time'
1903 virus scanning features to prevent this corruption.
1904 This type of "real time" virus scanning can also slow down the
1905 build process significantly.
1906 Temporarily disabling the feature, or excluding the build
1907 output directory may be necessary to get correct and faster builds.

1924 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.

1933 If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
1934 <blockquote>
1935 <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]1936 the future.</tt>

Kelly O'Hairbf8a41a2008-04-30 19:35:26 -0700[diff] [blame]1940 </blockquote>
1941 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
1942 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
1943 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
1944 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
1945 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
1946 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
1947 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
1948 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
1949 in the 1.4 source code.
1950 <p>
Kelly O'Hair213481a2010-12-22 12:25:52 -0800[diff] [blame]1951 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
1952 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
1953 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.
