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

   396     if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
       
   397     A build could be as simple as:

   405     <p>
       
   406     Of course ksh or sh would work too.
       
   407     But some customization will probably be necessary.
       
   408     The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build
       
   409     dependencies and generate appropriate warning messages
       
   410     regarding missing, out of date, or newer than expected components

   441             If your Solaris system has the software
       
   442             from the Solaris Companion CD installed, 
       
   443             you should use <tt>gmake</tt>

   609     <p>
       
   610     <strong>Windows:</strong>
       
   611     Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
       
   612     heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
       
   613     of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
       
   614     Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
       
   615     there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that 
       
   616     contains spaces.
       
   617     Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
       
   618     formula is difficult to explain.
       
   619     You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
       
   620     or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
       
   621     (called 'mixed'), e.g.
       
   622     <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
       
   623     <p>
       
   624     The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
       
   625     to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
       
   626     <p>
       
   627     Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
       
   628     setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
       
   629     the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
       
   630     separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
       
   631     With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
       
   632     cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version  of <tt>PATH</tt> and
       
   633     instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
       
   634     which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
       
   635     So be careful with paths on Windows.

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

   769         can be used to override the default location of the
       
   770         cacerts file that will get placed in your build.
       
   771         By default an empty cacerts file is provided and that should be
       
   772         fine for most JDK developers.

  1136     Note that ARCH_DATA_MODEL is really only needed on Solaris to

  1138     And before the Solaris 64-bit binaries can be used, they
       
  1139     must be merged with the binaries from a separate 32-bit build. 
       
  1140     The merged binaries may then be used in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with
       
  1141     the selection occurring at runtime 
       
  1142     with the <tt>-d32</tt> or <tt>-d64</tt> options.

  1325     <p>
       
  1326     A build can fail for any number of reasons. 
       
  1327     Most failures
       
  1328     are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
       
  1329     pre-build requirements have not been met. 
       
  1330     The first step in
       
  1331     troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
       
  1332     all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
       
  1333     Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
       
  1334     <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
       
  1335     
       
  1336     <p>
       
  1337     You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
       
  1338     target.
       
  1339     Any errors listed
       
  1340     will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
       
  1341     a flawed product build.
       
  1342     We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
       
  1343     sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
       
  1344     further with your build.

  1347     Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described

  1355                 If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
       
  1356                 simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
       
  1357                 variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
       
  1358                 machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
       
  1359                 not a good idea).

  1361                 Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
       
  1362                 javadoc, consider skipping that step.
       
  1363                 <p>
       
  1364                 Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
       
  1365                 The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
       
  1366                 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
       
  1367                 <p>

  1384                 <p>
       
  1385                 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
       
  1386                 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
       
  1387                 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
       
  1388                 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
       
  1389                 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
       
  1390                 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
       
  1391                 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
       
  1392                 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
       
  1393                 in the 1.4 source code.
       
  1394                 <p>
       
  1395                 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
       
  1396                 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
       
  1397                 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.
