            This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
            "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK.
            Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
            bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
            of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
            These usually represent what is often called the
            least common denominator platforms.
            It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these 
            specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
            may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.

            But some customization will probably be necessary.
            The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build

            <ul>
                <li>
                    In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer.

                <li>
                    Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.

                    <strong>Linux:</strong>
                    The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
                </li>
                <li>
                    <strong>Solaris:</strong>
                    Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
                    If your Solaris system has the software
                    from the Solaris Companion CD installed, 
                    you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
                    which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or 
                    <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
480 481
                    In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found
                    at <tt>/usr/bin/gmake</tt>.

                    Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer

            <strong>Windows:</strong>
            Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
            heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
            of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
            Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
            there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that 
            contains spaces.
            Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
            formula is difficult to explain.
            You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
            or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
            (called 'mixed'), e.g.
            <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.

            The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
            to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
            <p>
            Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
            setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
            the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
            separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
            With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
            cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version  of <tt>PATH</tt> and
            instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
            which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
            So be careful with paths on Windows.

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

                All OpenJDK builds require access to the previously released

                For build performance reasons
                is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available on the
                local disk of the machine doing the build.
                You should always set

                to point to the location of

                Not all of the source code that makes up the JDK is available
                under an open-source license.
                This is a temporary situation and these binary plugs will be
                replaced with fully open source replacements as soon as possible.
                So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,
                you must first download and install the appropriate
                binary plug bundles for the OpenJDK, go to the
                <a href="http://openjdk.java.net" target="_blank">OpenJDK</a> site and select
                the "<b>Bundles(7)</b>" link and download the binaryplugs for
                your particular platform.
                The file downloaded is a jar file that must be extracted by running
                the jar file with:
                <blockquote>
                    <pre>
            <tt><b>java -jar jdk-7-ea-plug-b<i>nn</i>-<i>os</i>-<i>arch</i>-<i>dd</i>_<i>month</i>_<i>year</i>.jar</b></tt>
                    </pre>
                </blockquote>
                A prompt will be issued for acceptance of these binary plug files.
                During the OpenJDK build process these "binary plugs"
                for the encumbered components will be copied into your
                resulting OpenJDK binary build image.
                These binary plug files are only for the purpose of
                building an OpenJDK binary.
                Make sure you set
                <tt><a href="#ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH">ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH</a></tt>

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

                By default an empty cacerts file is provided and that should be
                fine for most JDK developers.

                    However if you have a new video card driver, like 
                    Geforce 4 it is best to use
                    the same compiler as the kernel was built with to 
                    build the new video card driver module.
                    So you should build the modules before making this change.

                Building the freetype 2 libraries from scratch is also possible,

                <p>
                Note that by default FreeType is built with byte code hinting
                support disabled due to licensing restrictions.
                In this case, text appearance and metrics are expected to
                differ from Sun's official JDK build.

                <strong>Linux only:</strong>
                Version 0.9.1 or newer of the ALSA files are
                required for building the OpenJDK on Linux.
                These Linux files are usually available from an "alsa"
                of "libasound"
                development package, it's highly recommended that you try and use
                the package provided by the particular version of Linux that
                you are using.
                The makefiles will check this emit a sanity error if it is
                missing or the wrong version.

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

            Once a machine is setup to build the OpenJDK,
            the steps to create the build are fairly simple.
            The various ALT settings can either be made into  variables
            or can be supplied on the 
            <a href="#gmake"><tt><i>gmake</i></tt></a> 
            command.
            <ol>
                <li>Use the sanity rule to double check all the ALT settings:
                    <blockquote>
                        <tt>
                            <i>gmake</i> 
                            sanity
                            [ARCH_DATA_MODEL=<i>32 or 64</i>]
                            [other "ALT_" overrides]
                        </tt>

                </li>
                <li>Start the build with the command:
                    <blockquote>
                        <tt>
                            <i>gmake</i>

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

            The default output directory is

        <blockquote>
            A build can fail for any number of reasons. 
            Most failures
            are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
            pre-build requirements have not been met. 
            The first step in
            troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
            all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
            Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
            <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
            <p>
            You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
            target.
            Any errors listed
            will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
            a flawed product build.
            We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
            sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
            further with your build.
            <p>
            Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
            below, with suggestions for remedies.

                    <b>Slow Builds:</b>
                    <blockquote>
                        If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
                        simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
                        variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
                        machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
                        not a good idea).
                        <p>
                        Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
                        javadoc, consider skipping that step.
                        <p>
                        Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
                        The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
                        and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
                        <p>
                        Faster compiles are possible using a tool called

                    <b>File time issues:</b>
                    <blockquote>
                        If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
                        <blockquote>
                            <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
                            the future.</tt>
                            <br>
                            <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
                            be incomplete.</tt> 
                        </blockquote>
                        These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
                        sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
                        unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
                        the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
                        fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
                        For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
                        version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
                        when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
                        in the 1.4 source code.
                        <p>
                        If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
                        machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
                        containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

                        This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
                        This is installed as part of a specific package
                        (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
                        By default some 64bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
                        only install the 64bit version of the libstdc++ package.
                        Various parts of the JDK build require a static
                        link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
                        portability of the built images.
