| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| <p> |
| |

| The minimum OS and C/C++ compiler versions needed for building the |
| OpenJDK: |

| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| 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| regarding missing, out of date, or newer than expected components |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. |

| <p> |
| 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 3.78.1 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. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Windows:</strong> |
| Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell. |
| <br> |
| <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may |
| not work due to a lack of support for drive letter paths |
| like <tt>C:/</tt>. Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer |
| version that has this problem fixed. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Information on GNU make, and access to ftp download sites, are |
| available on the |
| <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html"> |

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

| <p> |
| 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. |

| <h4><a name="bootjdk">Bootstrap JDK</a></h4> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| All |
| OpenJDK |

| The JDK 6 binaries can be downloaded from Sun's |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/1.6.0/download.html">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 |
| that contains a <tt>bin, lib, and include</tt> |
| It's also a good idea to also place its <tt>bin</tt> directory |
| in the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable, although it's |
| not required. |
| <p> |
| <strong>Solaris:</strong> |
| Some pre-installed JDK images may be available to you in the |

| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| Not all of the source code that makes up the JDK is available |

| In order to build an OpenJDK binary from source code, |
| you must first download and install the appropriate |
| binary plug bundles from the OpenJDK Download area. |
| 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. |
| Download the Binary Plugs by selecting the <b>Downloads</b> |
| link at |
| <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/">the OpenJDK site</a>, |

| <p> |
| See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAcert"> |
| www.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAcert</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 |
| cacerts file that will get placed in your build. |
| By default an empty cacerts file is provided and that should be |

| <h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| 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> |
| <p> |
| 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/">ccache</a>. |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>File time issues:</b> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| 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> |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Error message: <tt>Trouble writing out table to disk</tt></b> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| 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 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. |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Error Message: <tt>cannot restore segment prot after reloc</tt></b> |
| <blockquote> |
| This is probably an issue with SELinux (See |
| <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELinux">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELinux</a>). |
| Parts of the VM is built without the <tt>-fPIC</tt> for |
| performance reasons. |
| <p> |
| To completely disable SELinux: |
| <ol><tt> |
| |
| <li>$ su root</li> |
| <li># system-config-securitylevel</li> |
| <li>In the window that appears, select the SELinux tab</li> |
| <li>Disable SELinux</li> |
| </ol></tt> |
| <p> |
| Alternatively, instead of completely disabling it you could |
| disable just this one check. |
| <ol><tt> |
| <li>Select System->Administration->SELinux Management</li> |
| <li>In the SELinux Management Tool which appears, |
| select "Boolean" from the menu on the left</li> |
| <li>Expand the "Memory Protection" group</li> |
| <li>Check the first item, labeled |
| "Allow all unconfined executables to use libraries requiring text relocation ..."</li> |
| </ol></tt> |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
