<h2><a name="hg">Use of Mercurial</a></h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
The OpenJDK sources are maintained with the revision control system
|
|
<a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial">Mercurial</a>.
|
|
If you are new to Mercurial, please see the
|
|
<a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BeginnersGuides">Beginner Guides</a>
|
|
or refer to the <a href=""http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial Book</a>.
|
|
The first few chapters of the book provide an excellent overview of
|
|
Mercurial, what it is and how it works.
|
|
<br>
|
|
For using Mercurial with the OpenJDK refer to the
|
|
<a href=""http://openjdk.java.net/guide/repositories.html#installConfig">
|
|
Developer Guide: Installing and Configuring Mercurial</a>
|
|
section for more information.
|
|
The Forest Extension is not part of the Mercurial install,
|
|
and is optional,
|
|
but can be obtained with the following commands:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgforest-crew/overview/ <i>YourHgForest</i>
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Once you have the file <tt>forest.py</tt>, you need to add these
|
|
lines to your <tt>${HOME}/.hgrc</tt> file:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
[extensions]
|
|
<br>forest = <i>YourHgForest</i>/forest.py
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<!-- ------------------------------------------------------ -->
|
|
<h3><a name="get_source">Getting the Source</a></h3>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories
|
|
using the Forest Extension:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
hg fclone http://openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories
|
|
without using the Forest Extension:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
hg clone http://openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
|
|
<br>cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
|
|
<br>sh ./get_source.sh
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Once you have all the repositories, the
|
|
script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt>
|
|
can be used to repeat the same <tt>hg</tt>
|
|
command on every repository in the forest, e.g.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
cd <i>YourOpenJDK</i>
|
|
<br>sh ./make/scripts/hgforest.sh pull -u
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
You may find this script <tt>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</tt> faster
|
|
than the <tt>hg</tt> forest commands provided by the
|
|
Forest Extension.

<h2><a name="MBE">Minimum Build Environments</a></h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
|
|
"minimum build environments" (MBE) for this
|
|
specific release of 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.
|
|

|

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

can be dealt with accordingly.

Build and install with something like:

Mercurial packages could not be found easily, but a Google

After installing <a href="http://opensolaris.org">OpenSolaris</a> 2009.06
|
|
you need to install several build dependencies.
|
|
The simplest way to install the build dependencies is to
|
|
execute the following commands:
|
|
<p/>
|
|
<code>pfexec pkg install SUNWgmake SUNWj6dev SUNWant sunstudioexpress SUNWcups SUNWzip SUNWunzip SUNWxwhl SUNWxorg-headers SUNWaudh SUNWfreetype2</code>
|
|
<p/>
|
|
In addition, it is necessary to set a few environment variables for the build:
|
|
<p/>
|
|
<code>export LANG=C ALT_COMPILER_PATH=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/ ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/include/</code>
|
|
<p/>
|
|
Finally, you need to make sure that the build process can find the Sun Studio compilers:
|
|
<p/>
|
|
<code>export PATH=$PATH:/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/</code>

Building the OpenJDK
|
|
is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
|
|
command line and various
|
|
environment or make variable settings that direct the make rules
|
|
to where various components have been installed.
|
|
Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
|
|
components in the default locations or any component specific
|
|
variable settings.
|
|
When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
|
|
the various
|
|
<tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
|
|
can be used to help the makefiles locate components.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Refer to the bash/sh/ksh setup file
|
|
<tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
|
|
if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
|
|
A build could be as simple as:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre><tt>
|
|
bash
|
|
. jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh
|
|
<i>gmake</i> sanity && <i>gmake</i>

</tt></pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Of course ksh or sh would work too.
|
|
But some customization will probably be necessary.
|
|
The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build
|
|
dependencies and generate appropriate warning messages
|
|
regarding missing, out of date, or newer than expected components
|
|
found on your system.

<h3><a name="gmake">GNU make (<tt><i>gmake</i></tt>)</a></h3>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
The Makefiles in the OpenJDK are only valid when used with the
|
|
GNU version of the utility command <tt>make</tt>
|
|
(<tt><i>gmake</i></tt>).
|
|
A few notes about using GNU make:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In general, you need GNU make version 3.81 or newer.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<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.
|
|
In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found
|
|
at <tt>/usr/bin/gmake</tt>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Windows:</strong>
|
|
Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell
|
|
and are using a <tt>make.exe</tt> utility built for that
|
|
environment (a cygwin <tt>make.exe</tt> is not the same
|
|
as a <tt>make.exe</tt> built for something like
|
|
<a href="http://www.mkssoftware.com/">MKS</a>).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may
|
|
not work due to a lack of support for MS-DOS drive letter paths
|
|
like <tt>C:/</tt> or <tt>C:\</tt>.
|
|
Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer
|
|
version that has this problem fixed.
|
|
The older 3.80 version of make.exe can be downloaded with this
|
|
<a href="http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2" target="_blank">
|
|
link</a>.
|
|
Use of this older 3.80 make.exe may require that you install the
|
|
libintl2.dll library or libintl2 cygwin package which is
|
|
no longer installed by default by the cygwin installer.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Also see the
|
|
<a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_build_prerequisites_using_cygwin#make" target="_blank">
|
|
mozilla developer center</a>
|
|
on this topic.
|
|
<br>
|
|
It's hoped that when make 3.82 starts shipping in a future cygwin
|
|
release that this MS-DOS path issue will be fixed.
|
|
In addition to the above 3.80 make.exe you can download
|
|
this
|
|
<a href="http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe">

<h4><a name="paths">Windows Paths</a></h4>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<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>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

<a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp"
|
|
target="_blank">JDK 6 download site</a>.
|
|
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
|
|
<tt><a href="#ALT_BOOTDIR">ALT_BOOTDIR</a></tt>
|
|
to point to the location of
|
|
the bootstrap JDK installation, this is the directory pathname
|

|
|
It's also a good idea to also place its <tt>bin</tt> directory

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Authority</a>

for a better understanding of the Certificate Authority (CA).
|
|
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.
|
|
The variable
|
|
<tt><a href="#ALT_CACERTS_FILE">ALT_CACERTS_FILE</a></tt>

|
can be used to override the default location of the

<p>
|
|
<b>BEGIN WARNING</b>: At this time (Spring/Summer 2010) JDK 7 is starting a transition to
|
|
use the newest VS2010 Microsoft compilers. These build instructions are updated
|
|
to show where we are going. We have a QA process to go through before
|
|
official builds actually use VS2010. So for now, official builds are
|
|
still using VS2003. No other compilers are known to build the entire JDK,
|
|
including non-open portions.
|
|
So for now you should be able to build with either VS2003 or VS2010.
|
|
We do not guarantee that VS2008 will work, although there is sufficient
|
|
makefile support to make at least basic JDK builds plausible.
|
|
Visual Studio 2010 Express compilers are now able to build all the
|
|
open source repositories, but this is 32 bit only. To build 64 bit
|
|
Windows binaries use the the 7.1 Windows SDK.<b>END WARNING.</b>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The 32-bit OpenJDK Windows build
|
|
requires
|
|
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (VS2010) Professional
|
|
Edition or Express compiler.
|
|
The compiler and other tools are expected to reside
|
|
in the location defined by the variable
|
|
<tt>VS100COMNTOOLS</tt> which
|
|
is set by the Microsoft Visual Studio installer.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once the compiler is installed,
|
|
it is recommended that you run <tt>VCVARS32.BAT</tt>
|
|
to set the compiler environment variables
|
|
<tt>INCLUDE</tt>,
|
|
<tt>LIB</tt>, and
|
|
<tt>PATH</tt>
|
|
prior to building the
|
|
OpenJDK.
|
|
The above environment variables <b>MUST</b> be set.
|
|
This compiler also contains the Windows SDK v 7.0a,
|
|
which is an update to the Windows 7 SDK.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>WARNING:</b> Make sure you check out the
|
|
<a href="#cygwin">CYGWIN link.exe WARNING</a>.
|
|
The path <tt>/usr/bin</tt> must be after the path to the
|
|
Visual Studio product.

|

For <b>X64</b>, builds, when using the VS2010 Professional
|

compiler, the 64 bit build set up is much the same as 32 bit
|
|
except that you run <tt>amd64\VCVARS64.BAT</tt>
|
|
to set the compiler environment variables.
|
|
Previously 64 bit builds had used the 64 bit compiler in

an unbundled Windows SDK but this is no longer necessary if

|
you have VS2010 Professional.

For a free alternative for 64 bit builds, use the 7.1 SDK.

What was tested is just directly setting up LIB, INCLUDE,

need to set them for yours, not just blindly copy this) eg :

|
|
Note that you need development version of package that

You can always download latest FreeType version from the
|
|
<a href="http://www.freetype.org" target="_blank">FreeType website</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Makefiles will try to pick FreeType from /usr/lib and /usr/include.

<blockquote>
|
|
<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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
Installation: execute as root<br>
|
|
[i586]: <code>rpm -Uv --force alsa-lib-devel-0.9.1-rh61.i386.rpm</code><br>
|
|
[x64]: <code>rpm -Uv --force alsa-lib-devel-0.9.8-amd64.x86_64.rpm</code><br>
|
|
Uninstallation:<br>
|
|
[i586]: <code>rpm -ev alsa-lib-devel-0.9.1-rh61</code><br>
|
|
[x64]:<code>rpm -ev alsa-lib-devel-0.9.8-amd64</code><br>
|
|
Make sure that you do not link to the static library

|
|
by verifying that the dynamic library (<tt>libasound.so</tt>) is

As a last resort you can go to the

<a href="http://www.alsa-project.org" target="_blank">
|
|
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Site</a> and build it from
|
|
source.
|
|

|
|
Download driver and library
|
|
source tarballs from
|
|
<a href="http://www.alsa-project.org" target="_blank">ALSA's homepage</a>.

As root, execute the following

|
commands (you may need to adapt the version number):

$ cd alsa-lib-0.9.1
|

$ make install

|
|
</pre>
|
|
Should one of the above steps fail, refer to the documentation on
|
|
ALSA's home page.

|
|
Note that this is a minimum install that enables
|
|
building the JDK platform. To actually use ALSA sound drivers, more

|
<p>

|
|
There are no ALT* variables to change the assumed locations of ALSA,

<tt>/usr/include/alsa</tt> and <tt>/usr/lib/libasound.so</tt>.

<h2><a name="creating">Creating the Build</a></h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
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>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Start the build with the command:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
<i>gmake</i>
|
|
[ARCH_DATA_MODEL=<i>32 or 64</i>]
|
|
[ALT_OUTPUTDIR=<i>output_directory</i>]
|
|
[other "ALT_" overrides]
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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.
|

<h2><a name="testing">Testing the Build</a></h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
When the build is completed, you should see the generated
|
|
binaries and associated files in the <tt>j2sdk-image</tt>
|
|
directory in the output directory.
|
|
The default output directory is
|
|
<tt>build/<i>platform</i></tt>,
|
|
where <tt><i>platform</i></tt> is one of
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>solaris-sparc</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>solaris-sparcv9</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>solaris-i586</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>solaris-amd64</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>linux-i586</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>linux-amd64</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>windows-i586</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>windows-amd64</tt></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
In particular, the
|
|
<tt>build/<i>platform</i>/j2sdk-image/bin</tt>
|
|
directory should contain executables for the
|
|
OpenJDK tools and utilities.
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can test that the build completed properly by using the build
|
|
to run the various demos that you will find in the
|
|
<tt>build/<i>platform</i>/j2sdk-image/demo</tt>
|
|
directory.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The provided regression tests can be run with the <tt>jtreg</tt>
|
|
utility from
|
|
<a href="http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/" target="_blank">the jtreg site</a>.

<h2><a name="variables">Environment/Make Variables</a></h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some of the
|
|
environment or make variables (just called <b>variables</b> in this

document) that can impact the build are:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<dl>
|

<dt><a name="arch_data_model"><tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt></a></dt>
|

<dd>The <tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt> variable
|
|
is used to specify whether the build is to generate 32-bit or 64-bit
|

binaries.
|
|
The Solaris build supports either 32-bit or 64-bit builds, but
|
|
Windows and Linux will support only one, depending on the specific
|
|
OS being used.
|
|
Normally, setting this variable is only necessary on Solaris.

<h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
|
|
<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.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<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
|
|
<a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<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.
|
|

|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Error message: <tt>Trouble writing out table to disk</tt></b>
|
|
<blockquote>
|

Increase the amount of swap space on your build machine.
|

</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Error Message: <tt>libstdc++ not found:</tt></b>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
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 64-bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
|
|
only install the 64-bit 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.
