<li>The build is now a "<code>configure && make</code>" style build</li> |
|
26 |
<li>Any GNU make 3.81 or newer should work, except on Windows where 4.0 or newer |
|
27 |
is recommended.</li> |
|
28 |
<li>The build should scale, i.e. more processors should cause the build to be |
|
29 |
done in less wall-clock time</li> |
|
30 |
<li>Nested or recursive make invocations have been significantly reduced, |
|
31 |
as has the total fork/exec or spawning of sub processes during the build</li> |
|
32 |
<li>Windows MKS usage is no longer supported</li> |
|
33 |
<li>Windows Visual Studio <code>vsvars*.bat</code> and <code>vcvars*.bat</code> files are run |
|
34 |
automatically</li> |
|
35 |
<li>Ant is no longer used when building the OpenJDK</li> |
|
36 |
<li>Use of ALT_* environment variables for configuring the build is no longer |
|
37 |
supported</li> |

<p>The OpenJDK sources are maintained with the revision control system |
86 |
<a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial">Mercurial</a>. If you are new to |
|
87 |
Mercurial, please see the <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ |
|
88 |
BeginnersGuides">Beginner Guides</a> or refer to the <a href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Mercurial Book</a>. |
|
89 |
The first few chapters of the book provide an excellent overview of Mercurial, |
|
90 |
what it is and how it works.</p> |
|
91 |
||
92 |
<p>For using Mercurial with the OpenJDK refer to the <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/guide/ |
|
93 |
repositories.html#installConfig">Developer Guide: Installing |
|
94 |
and Configuring Mercurial</a> section for more information.</p> |

<h3>Getting the Source</h3> |
|
99 |
||
100 |
<p>To get the entire set of OpenJDK Mercurial repositories use the script |
|
101 |
<code>get_source.sh</code> located in the root repository:</p> |
|

102 |
|
| 33030 | 103 |
<pre><code> hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9 YourOpenJDK |
104 |
cd YourOpenJDK |
|
105 |
bash ./get_source.sh |
|
106 |
</code></pre> |
|
107 |
||
108 |
<p>Once you have all the repositories, keep in mind that each repository is its |
|
109 |
own independent repository. You can also re-run <code>./get_source.sh</code> anytime to |
|
110 |
pull over all the latest changesets in all the repositories. This set of |
|
111 |
nested repositories has been given the term "forest" and there are various |
|
112 |
ways to apply the same <code>hg</code> command to each of the repositories. For |
|
113 |
example, the script <code>make/scripts/hgforest.sh</code> can be used to repeat the |
|
114 |
same <code>hg</code> command on every repository, e.g.</p> |
|
115 |
||
116 |
<pre><code> cd YourOpenJDK |
|
117 |
bash ./make/scripts/hgforest.sh status |
|
118 |

<h3>Repository Source Guidelines</h3> |
|
140 |
||
141 |
<p>There are some very basic guidelines:</p> |
|
142 |
||
143 |
<ul> |
|
144 |
<li>Use of whitespace in source files (.java, .c, .h, .cpp, and .hpp files) is |
|
145 |
restricted. No TABs, no trailing whitespace on lines, and files should not |
|
146 |
terminate in more than one blank line.</li> |
|
147 |
<li>Files with execute permissions should not be added to the source |
|
148 |
repositories.</li> |
|
149 |
<li>All generated files need to be kept isolated from the files maintained or |
|
150 |
managed by the source control system. The standard area for generated files |
|
151 |
is the top level <code>build/</code> directory.</li> |
|
152 |
<li>The default build process should be to build the product and nothing else, |
|
153 |
in one form, e.g. a product (optimized), debug (non-optimized, -g plus |
|
154 |
assert logic), or fastdebug (optimized, -g plus assert logic).</li> |
|
155 |
<li>The <code>.hgignore</code> file in each repository must exist and should include |
|
156 |
<code>^build/</code>, <code>^dist/</code> and optionally any <code>nbproject/private</code> directories. <strong>It |
|
157 |
should NEVER</strong> include anything in the <code>src/</code> or <code>test/</code> or any managed |
|
158 |
directory area of a repository.</li> |
|
159 |
<li>Directory names and file names should never contain blanks or non-printing |
|
160 |
characters.</li> |
|
161 |
<li>Generated source or binary files should NEVER be added to the repository |
|
162 |
(that includes <code>javah</code> output). There are some exceptions to this rule, in |
|
163 |
particular with some of the generated configure scripts.</li> |
|
164 |
<li>Files not needed for typical building or testing of the repository should |
|
165 |
not be added to the repository.</li> |
|
166 |
</ul> |

<h2>Building</h2> |
173 |
||
174 |
<p>The very first step in building the OpenJDK is making sure the system itself |
|
175 |
has everything it needs to do OpenJDK builds. Once a system is setup, it |
|
176 |
generally doesn't need to be done again.</p> |
|
177 |
||
178 |
<p>Building the OpenJDK is now done with running a <code>configure</code> script which will |
|
179 |
try and find and verify you have everything you need, followed by running |
|
180 |
<code>make</code>, e.g.</p> |
|
181 |
||
182 |
<blockquote> |
|
183 |
<p><strong><code>bash ./configure</code></strong> <br /> |
|
184 |
<strong><code>make all</code></strong></p> |
|
185 |

<p>Where possible the <code>configure</code> script will attempt to located the various |
188 |
components in the default locations or via component specific variable |
|
189 |
settings. When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found, |
|
190 |
additional <code>configure</code> options may be necessary to help <code>configure</code> find the |
|
191 |
necessary tools for the build, or you may need to re-visit the setup of your |
|
192 |
system due to missing software packages.</p> |
|
193 |
||
194 |
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The <code>configure</code> script file does not have execute permissions and |
|
195 |
will need to be explicitly run with <code>bash</code>, see the source guidelines.</p> |

<h3>System Setup</h3> |
|
202 |
||
203 |
<p>Before even attempting to use a system to build the OpenJDK there are some very |
|
204 |
basic system setups needed. For all systems:</p> |
|
205 |
||
206 |
<ul> |
|
207 |
<li><p>Be sure the GNU make utility is version 3.81 (4.0 on windows) or newer, e.g. |
|
208 |
run "<code>make -version</code>"</p> |

|
| 33030 | 210 |
<p><a name="bootjdk"></a></p></li> |
211 |
<li><p>Install a Bootstrap JDK. All OpenJDK builds require access to a previously |
|
212 |
released JDK called the <em>bootstrap JDK</em> or <em>boot JDK.</em> The general rule is |
|
213 |
that the bootstrap JDK must be an instance of the previous major release of |
|
214 |
the JDK. In addition, there may be a requirement to use a release at or |
|
215 |
beyond a particular update level.</p> |
|
216 |
||
217 |
<p><strong><em>Building JDK 9 requires JDK 8. JDK 9 developers should not use JDK 9 as |
|
218 |
the boot JDK, to ensure that JDK 9 dependencies are not introduced into the |
|
219 |
parts of the system that are built with JDK 8.</em></strong></p> |
|
220 |
||
221 |
<p>The JDK 8 binaries can be downloaded from Oracle's <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">JDK 8 download |
|
222 |
site</a>. |
|
223 |
For build performance reasons it is very important that this bootstrap JDK |
|
224 |
be made available on the local disk of the machine doing the build. You |
|
225 |
should add its <code>bin</code> directory to the <code>PATH</code> environment variable. If |
|
226 |
<code>configure</code> has any issues finding this JDK, you may need to use the |
|
227 |
<code>configure</code> option <code>--with-boot-jdk</code>.</p></li> |
|
228 |
<li><p>Ensure that GNU make, the Bootstrap JDK, and the compilers are all in your |
|
229 |
PATH environment variable.</p></li> |

<h4>Linux</h4> |
|
261 |
||
262 |
<p>With Linux, try and favor the system packages over building your own or getting |
|
263 |
packages from other areas. Most Linux builds should be possible with the |
|
264 |
system's available packages.</p> |
|
265 |
||
266 |
<p>Note that some Linux systems have a habit of pre-populating your environment |
|
267 |
variables for you, for example <code>JAVA_HOME</code> might get pre-defined for you to |
|
268 |
refer to the JDK installed on your Linux system. You will need to unset |
|
269 |
<code>JAVA_HOME</code>. It's a good idea to run <code>env</code> and verify the environment variables |
|
270 |
you are getting from the default system settings make sense for building the |
|
271 |
OpenJDK.</p> |

<p>Building on Windows requires a Unix-like environment, notably a Unix-like |
330 |
shell. There are several such environments available of which |
|
331 |
<a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> and |
|
332 |
<a href="http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS">MinGW/MSYS</a> are currently supported for the |
|
333 |
OpenJDK build. One of the differences of these systems from standard Windows |
|
334 |
tools is the way they handle Windows path names, particularly path names which |
|
335 |
contain spaces, backslashes as path separators and possibly drive letters. |
|
336 |
Depending on the use case and the specifics of each environment these path |
|
337 |
problems can be solved by a combination of quoting whole paths, translating |
|
338 |
backslashes to forward slashes, escaping backslashes with additional |
|
339 |
backslashes and translating the path names to their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename">"8.3" |
|
340 |
version</a>.</p> |

<p>CYGWIN is an open source, Linux-like environment which tries to emulate a |
347 |
complete POSIX layer on Windows. It tries to be smart about path names and can |
|
348 |
usually handle all kinds of paths if they are correctly quoted or escaped |
|
349 |
although internally it maps drive letters <code><drive>:</code> to a virtual directory |
|
350 |
<code>/cygdrive/<drive></code>.</p> |
|
351 |
||
352 |
<p>You can always use the <code>cygpath</code> utility to map pathnames with spaces or the |
|
353 |
backslash character into the <code>C:/</code> style of pathname (called 'mixed'), e.g. |
|
354 |
<code>cygpath -s -m "<path>"</code>.</p> |
|
355 |
||
356 |
<p>Note that the use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to setting |
|
357 |
<a href="#path"><code>PATH</code></a>. Normally on Windows the <code>PATH</code> variable contains directories |
|
358 |
separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux use ":"). With CYGWIN, it |
|
359 |
uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path" cannot be placed in the |
|
360 |
CYGWIN version of <code>PATH</code> and instead CYGWIN uses something like |
|
361 |
<code>/cygdrive/c/path</code> which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.</p> |
|
362 |
||
363 |
<p>The OpenJDK build requires CYGWIN version 1.7.16 or newer. Information about |
|
364 |
CYGWIN can be obtained from the CYGWIN website at |
|
365 |
<a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.</p> |
|
366 |
||
367 |
<p>By default CYGWIN doesn't install all the tools required for building the |
|
368 |
OpenJDK. Along with the default installation, you need to install the following |
|
369 |
tools.</p> |

<p>MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows") is a collection of free Windows specific
|
|
451 |
header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that allow one to |
|
452 |
produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party C runtime |
|
453 |
DLLs. MSYS is a supplement to MinGW which allows building applications and |
|
454 |
programs which rely on traditional UNIX tools to be present. Among others this |
|
455 |
includes tools like <code>bash</code> and <code>make</code>. See <a href="http://www.mingw.org/ |

<p>Like Cygwin, MinGW/MSYS can handle different types of path formats. They are |
459 |
internally converted to paths with forward slashes and drive letters |
|
460 |
<code><drive>:</code> replaced by a virtual directory <code>/<drive></code>. Additionally, MSYS |
|
461 |
automatically detects binaries compiled for the MSYS environment and feeds them |
|
462 |
with the internal, Unix-style path names. If native Windows applications are |
|
463 |
called from within MSYS programs their path arguments are automatically |
|
464 |
converted back to Windows style path names with drive letters and backslashes |
|
465 |
as path separators. This may cause problems for Windows applications which use |
|
466 |
forward slashes as parameter separator (e.g. <code>cl /nologo /I</code>) because MSYS may |
|
467 |
wrongly <a href="http://mingw.org/wiki/ |
|
468 |
Posix_path_conversion">replace such parameters by drive letters</a>.</p> |

<h5>Visual Studio 2013 Compilers</h5> |
|
481 |
||
482 |
<p>The 32-bit and 64-bit OpenJDK Windows build requires Microsoft Visual Studio |
|
483 |
C++ 2013 (VS2013) Professional Edition or Express compiler. The compiler and |
|
484 |
other tools are expected to reside in the location defined by the variable |
|
485 |
<code>VS120COMNTOOLS</code> which is set by the Microsoft Visual Studio installer.</p> |
|
486 |
||
487 |
<p>Only the C++ part of VS2013 is needed. Try to let the installation go to the |
|
488 |
default install directory. Always reboot your system after installing VS2013. |
|
489 |
The system environment variable VS120COMNTOOLS should be set in your |
|
490 |
environment.</p> |
|
491 |
||
492 |
<p>Make sure that TMP and TEMP are also set in the environment and refer to |
|
493 |
Windows paths that exist, like <code>C:\temp</code>, not <code>/tmp</code>, not <code>/cygdrive/c/temp</code>, |
|
494 |
and not <code>C:/temp</code>. <code>C:\temp</code> is just an example, it is assumed that this area |
|
495 |
is private to the user, so by default after installs you should see a unique |
|
496 |
user path in these variables.</p> |

necessary build components are. If you have all prerequisites for building |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> The <code>generated-configure.sh</code> file looks horrible! How are you going to |
759 |
edit it? <br /> |
|
760 |
<strong>A:</strong> The <code>generated-configure.sh</code> file is generated (think "compiled") by the |
|
761 |
autoconf tools. The source code is in <code>configure.ac</code> and various .m4 files in |
|
762 |
common/autoconf, which are much more readable.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> Why is the <code>generated-configure.sh</code> file checked in, if it is |
765 |
generated? <br /> |
|
766 |
<strong>A:</strong> If it was not generated, every user would need to have the autoconf |
|
767 |
tools installed, and re-generate the <code>configure</code> file as the first step. Our |
|
768 |
goal is to minimize the work needed to be done by the user to start building |
|
769 |
OpenJDK, and to minimize the number of external dependencies required.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> Do you require a specific version of autoconf for regenerating |
772 |
<code>generated-configure.sh</code>? <br /> |
|
773 |
<strong>A:</strong> Yes, version 2.69 is required and should be easy enough to aquire on all |
|
774 |
supported operating systems. The reason for this is to avoid large spurious |
|
775 |
changes in <code>generated-configure.sh</code>.</p> |
|
776 |
||
777 |
<p><strong>Q:</strong> How do you regenerate <code>generated-configure.sh</code> after making changes to |
|
778 |
the input files? <br /> |
|
779 |
<strong>A:</strong> Regnerating <code>generated-configure.sh</code> should always be done using the |
|
780 |
script <code>common/autoconf/autogen.sh</code> to ensure that the correct files get |
|
781 |
updated. This script should also be run after mercurial tries to merge |
|
782 |
<code>generated-configure.sh</code> as a merge of the generated file is not guaranteed to |
|
783 |
be correct.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> What are the files in <code>common/makefiles/support/*</code> for? They look like |
786 |
gibberish. <br /> |
|
787 |
<strong>A:</strong> They are a somewhat ugly hack to compensate for command line length |
|
788 |
limitations on certain platforms (Windows, Solaris). Due to a combination of |
|
789 |
limitations in make and the shell, command lines containing too many files will |
|
790 |
not work properly. These helper files are part of an elaborate hack that will |
|
791 |
compress the command line in the makefile and then uncompress it safely. We're |
|
792 |
not proud of it, but it does fix the problem. If you have any better |
|
793 |
suggestions, we're all ears! :-)</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> When do I have to re-run <code>configure</code>? <br /> |
808 |
<strong>A:</strong> Normally you will run <code>configure</code> only once for creating a |
|
809 |
configuration. You need to re-run configuration only if you want to change any |
|
810 |
configuration options, or if you pull down changes to the <code>configure</code> script.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> I have added a new source file. Do I need to modify the makefiles? <br /> |
813 |
<strong>A:</strong> Normally, no. If you want to create e.g. a new native library, you will |
|
814 |
need to modify the makefiles. But for normal file additions or removals, no |
|
815 |
changes are needed. There are certan exceptions for some native libraries where |
|
816 |
the source files are spread over many directories which also contain sources |
|
817 |
for other libraries. In these cases it was simply easier to create include |
|
818 |
lists rather than excludes.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> When I run <code>configure --help</code>, I see many strange options, like |
821 |
<code>--dvidir</code>. What is this? <br /> |
|
822 |
<strong>A:</strong> Configure provides a slew of options by default, to all projects that |
|
823 |
use autoconf. Most of them are not used in OpenJDK, so you can safely ignore |
|
824 |
them. To list only OpenJDK specific features, use <code>configure --help=short</code> |
|
825 |
instead.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> <code>configure</code> provides OpenJDK-specific features such as <code>--with- |
828 |
builddeps-server</code> that are not described in this document. What about those? <br /> |
|
829 |
<strong>A:</strong> Try them out if you like! But be aware that most of these are |
|
830 |
experimental features. Many of them don't do anything at all at the moment; the |
|
831 |
option is just a placeholder. Others depend on pieces of code or infrastructure |
|
832 |
that is currently not ready for prime time.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> How will you make sure you don't break anything? <br /> |
835 |
<strong>A:</strong> We have a script that compares the result of the new build system with |
|
836 |
the result of the old. For most part, we aim for (and achieve) byte-by-byte |
|
837 |
identical output. There are however technical issues with e.g. native binaries, |
|
838 |
which might differ in a byte-by-byte comparison, even when building twice with |
|
839 |
the old build system. For these, we compare relevant aspects (e.g. the symbol |
|
840 |
table and file size). Note that we still don't have 100% equivalence, but we're |
|
841 |
close.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> I noticed this thing X in the build that looks very broken by design. |
844 |
Why don't you fix it? <br /> |
|
845 |
<strong>A:</strong> Our goal is to produce a build output that is as close as technically |
|
846 |
possible to the old build output. If things were weird in the old build, they |
|
847 |
will be weird in the new build. Often, things were weird before due to |
|
848 |
obscurity, but in the new build system the weird stuff comes up to the surface. |
|
849 |
The plan is to attack these things at a later stage, after the new build system |
|
850 |
is established.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> The code in the new build system is not that well-structured. Will you |
853 |
fix this? <br /> |
|
854 |
<strong>A:</strong> Yes! The new build system has grown bit by bit as we converted the old |
|
855 |
system. When all of the old build system is converted, we can take a step back |
|
856 |
and clean up the structure of the new build system. Some of this we plan to do |
|
857 |
before replacing the old build system and some will need to wait until after.</p> |

<p><strong>Q:</strong> Is anything able to use the results of the new build's default make |
860 |
target? <br /> |
|
861 |
<strong>A:</strong> Yes, this is the minimal (or roughly minimal) set of compiled output |
|
862 |
needed for a developer to actually execute the newly built JDK. The idea is |
|
863 |
that in an incremental development fashion, when doing a normal make, you |
|
864 |
should only spend time recompiling what's changed (making it purely |
|
865 |
incremental) and only do the work that's needed to actually run and test your |
|
866 |
code. The packaging stuff that is part of the <code>images</code> target is not needed for |
|
867 |
a normal developer who wants to test his new code. Even if it's quite fast, |
|
868 |
it's still unnecessary. We're targeting sub-second incremental rebuilds! ;-) |
|
869 |
(Or, well, at least single-digit seconds...)</p> |
|
870 |
||
871 |
<p><strong>Q:</strong> I usually set a specific environment variable when building, but I can't |
|
872 |
find the equivalent in the new build. What should I do? <br /> |
|
873 |
<strong>A:</strong> It might very well be that we have neglected to add support for an |
|
874 |
option that was actually used from outside the build system. Email us and we |
|
875 |
will add support for it!</p> |

<h3>Build Performance Tips</h3> |
|
880 |
||
881 |
<p>Building OpenJDK requires a lot of horsepower. Some of the build tools can be |
|
882 |
adjusted to utilize more or less of resources such as parallel threads and |
|
883 |
memory. The <code>configure</code> script analyzes your system and selects reasonable |
|
884 |
values for such options based on your hardware. If you encounter resource |
|
885 |
problems, such as out of memory conditions, you can modify the detected values |
|
886 |
with:</p> |
|
887 |
||
888 |
<ul> |
|
889 |
<li><strong><code>--with-num-cores</code></strong> -- number of cores in the build system, e.g. |
|
890 |
<code>--with-num-cores=8</code></li> |
|
891 |
<li><strong><code>--with-memory-size</code></strong> -- memory (in MB) available in the build system, |
|
892 |
e.g. <code>--with-memory-size=1024</code></li> |
|
893 |
</ul> |
|
894 |
||
895 |
<p>It might also be necessary to specify the JVM arguments passed to the Bootstrap |
|
896 |
JDK, using e.g. <code>--with-boot-jdk-jvmargs="-Xmx8G -enableassertions"</code>. Doing |
|
897 |
this will override the default JVM arguments passed to the Bootstrap JDK.</p> |
|
898 |
||
899 |
<p>One of the top goals of the new build system is to improve the build |
|
900 |
performance and decrease the time needed to build. This will soon also apply to |
|
901 |
the java compilation when the Smart Javac wrapper is fully supported.</p> |

<p>At the end of a successful execution of <code>configure</code>, you will get a performance |
904 |
summary, indicating how well the build will perform. Here you will also get |
|
905 |
performance hints. If you want to build fast, pay attention to those!</p> |
|
906 |
||
907 |
<h4>Building with ccache</h4> |
|
908 |
||
909 |
<p>The OpenJDK build supports building with ccache when using gcc or clang. Using |
|
910 |
ccache can radically speed up compilation of native code if you often rebuild |
|
911 |
the same sources. Your milage may vary however so we recommend evaluating it |
|
912 |
for yourself. To enable it, make sure it's on the path and configure with |
|
913 |
<code>--enable-ccache</code>.</p> |
|
914 |
||
915 |
<h4>Building on local disk</h4> |
|
916 |
||
917 |
<p>If you are using network shares, e.g. via NFS, for your source code, make sure |
|
918 |
the build directory is situated on local disk. The performance penalty is |
|
919 |
extremely high for building on a network share, close to unusable.</p> |
|
920 |
||
921 |
<h4>Building only one JVM</h4> |
|
922 |
||
923 |
<p>The old build builds multiple JVMs on 32-bit systems (client and server; and on |
|
924 |
Windows kernel as well). In the new build we have changed this default to only |
|
925 |
build server when it's available. This improves build times for those not |
|
926 |
interested in multiple JVMs. To mimic the old behavior on platforms that |
|
927 |
support it, use <code>--with-jvm-variants=client,server</code>.</p> |
|
928 |
||
929 |
<h4>Selecting the number of cores to build on</h4> |
|
930 |
||
931 |
<p>By default, <code>configure</code> will analyze your machine and run the make process in |
|
932 |
parallel with as many threads as you have cores. This behavior can be |
|
933 |
overridden, either "permanently" (on a <code>configure</code> basis) using |
|
934 |
<code>--with-num-cores=N</code> or for a single build only (on a make basis), using |
|
935 |
<code>make JOBS=N</code>.</p> |
|
936 |
||
937 |
<p>If you want to make a slower build just this time, to save some CPU power for |
|
938 |
other processes, you can run e.g. <code>make JOBS=2</code>. This will force the makefiles |
|
939 |
to only run 2 parallel processes, or even <code>make JOBS=1</code> which will disable |
|
940 |
parallelism.</p> |
|
941 |
||
942 |
<p>If you want to have it the other way round, namely having slow builds default |
|
943 |
and override with fast if you're impatient, you should call <code>configure</code> with |
|
944 |
<code>--with-num-cores=2</code>, making 2 the default. If you want to run with more cores, |
|
945 |
run <code>make JOBS=8</code></p> |

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3> |
|
950 |
||
951 |
<h4>Solving build problems</h4> |
|
952 |
||
953 |
<p>If the build fails (and it's not due to a compilation error in a source file |
|
954 |
you've changed), the first thing you should do is to re-run the build with more |
|
955 |
verbosity. Do this by adding <code>LOG=debug</code> to your make command line.</p> |
|
956 |
||
957 |
<p>The build log (with both stdout and stderr intermingled, basically the same as |
|
958 |
you see on your console) can be found as <code>build.log</code> in your build directory.</p> |
|
959 |
||
960 |
<p>You can ask for help on build problems with the new build system on either the |
|
961 |
<a href="http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/build-dev">build-dev</a> or the |
|
962 |
<a href="http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/build-infra-dev">build-infra-dev</a> |
|
963 |
mailing lists. Please include the relevant parts of the build log.</p> |
|
964 |
||
965 |
<p>A build can fail for any number of reasons. Most failures are a result of |
|
966 |
trying to build in an environment in which all the pre-build requirements have |
|
967 |
not been met. The first step in troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck |
|
968 |
that you have satisfied all the pre-build requirements for your platform. |
|
969 |
Scanning the <code>configure</code> log is a good first step, making sure that what it |
|
970 |
found makes sense for your system. Look for strange error messages or any |
|
971 |
difficulties that <code>configure</code> had in finding things.</p> |
|
972 |
||
973 |
<p>Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described below, with |
|
974 |
suggestions for remedies.</p> |
|
975 |
||
976 |
<ul> |
|
977 |
<li><p><strong>Corrupted Bundles on Windows:</strong> <br /> |
|
978 |
Some virus scanning software has been known to corrupt the downloading of |
|
979 |
zip bundles. It may be necessary to disable the 'on access' or 'real time' |
|
980 |
virus scanning features to prevent this corruption. This type of 'real time' |
|
981 |
virus scanning can also slow down the build process significantly. |
|
982 |
Temporarily disabling the feature, or excluding the build output directory |
|
983 |
may be necessary to get correct and faster builds.</p></li> |
|
984 |
<li><p><strong>Slow Builds:</strong> <br /> |
|
985 |
If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many simultaneous C++ |
|
986 |
compiles, try setting the <code>JOBS=1</code> on the <code>make</code> command line. Then try |
|
987 |
increasing the count slowly to an acceptable level for your system. Also:</p> |
|
988 |
||
989 |
<p>Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running javadoc, consider |
|
990 |
skipping that step.</p> |

<p>Faster CPUs, more RAM, and a faster DISK usually helps. The VM build tends |
993 |
to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles), and the rest of the JDK will often |
|
994 |
be disk intensive.</p> |

<ul> |
1082 |
<li>You need GNU make version 3.81 or newer. On Windows 4.0 or newer is |
|
1083 |
recommended. If the GNU make utility on your systems is not of a suitable |
|
1084 |
version, see "<a href="#buildgmake">Building GNU make</a>".</li> |
|
1085 |
<li>Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <code>PATH</code>.</li> |
|
1086 |
<li><strong>Solaris:</strong> Do NOT use <code>/usr/bin/make</code> on Solaris. If your Solaris system |
|
1087 |
has the software from the Solaris Developer Companion CD installed, you |
|
1088 |
should try and use <code>gmake</code> which will be located in either the <code>/usr/bin</code>, |
|
1089 |
<code>/opt/sfw/bin</code> or <code>/usr/sfw/bin</code> directory.</li> |
|
1090 |
<li><strong>Windows:</strong> Make sure you start your build inside a bash shell.</li> |
|
1091 |
<li><strong>Mac OS X:</strong> The XCode "command line tools" must be installed on your Mac.</li> |

1121 |
below is what the Oracle Release Engineering Team will use to build the Oracle |

1123 |
bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations of the same |
|
1124 |
base OS and hardware architecture. In some cases, these represent what is often |

1125 |
called the least common denominator, but each Operating System has different |
|
1126 |
aspects to it.</p> |

<p>With Windows the critical aspect is the Visual Studio compiler used, which due |
|
1138 |
to it's runtime, generally dictates what Windows systems can do the builds and |
|
1139 |
where the resulting bits can be used.</p> |
|
1140 |

1141 |
<p><strong>NOTE: We expect a change here off these older Windows OS releases and to a |
|
1142 |
'less older' one, probably Windows 2008R2 X64.</strong></p> |

<p>It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these specific |
1152 |
versions, and in fact creating these specific versions may be difficult due to |
|
1153 |
the age of some of this software. It is expected that developers are more often |
|
1154 |
using the more recent releases and distributions of these operating systems.</p> |

<p>Compilation problems with newer or different C/C++ compilers is a common |
1157 |
problem. Similarly, compilation problems related to changes to the |
|
1158 |
<code>/usr/include</code> or system header files is also a common problem with older, |
|
1159 |
newer, or unreleased OS versions. Please report these types of problems as bugs |
|
1160 |
so that they can be dealt with accordingly.</p> |
