-    <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>

-    <p>
-    The minimum OS and C/C++ compiler versions needed for building the
-    OpenJDK:

+            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.

-    Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the

-    You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces

-        For build performance reasons
-        is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available on the

-        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

+            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

+                So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,
+                you must first download and install the appropriate

+                your particular platform.
+                The file downloaded is a jar file that must be extracted by running

+                </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

+                These binary plug files are only for the purpose of
+                building an OpenJDK binary.

+                    On <b>X64</b>, the Microsoft Platform Software
+                    Development Kit (SDK), April 2005 Edition compiler,
+                    is required for building the OpenJDK
+                    because it contains the C/C++ compiler. 
+                    You will need to minimally install the Core SDK and
+                    the MDAC SDK features of this compiler.
+                    <p>
+                    Once the Platform SDK is installed,
+                    it is recommended that you run <tt>SetEnv.Cmd /X64</tt> 
+                    to set the compiler environment variables
+                    <tt>MSSDK</tt>,

+                    prior to building the 
+                    OpenJDK.
+                    The above environment variables <b>MUST</b> be set.
+                    <p>
+                    Note that this compiler may say it's version is a
+                    Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 (VS2005), but be careful,
+                    it will not match the official VS2005 product.
+                    This Platform SDK compiler is only used on X64 builds.

-    The merged binaries may then be used in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with

-    <p>
-    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>,

-    </ul></tt>
-    In particular, the

-    directory should contain executables for the

-    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>

-    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.

-                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

-                <p>
-                Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running

-                If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.

-                </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.

+                        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.

+                        (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
