   1 README:
   2   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial repository
   3   forest. This top or enclosing repository will include a "make" directory,
   4   and a Makefile at the very top of the repository.
   5   It should also include the 6 repositories: "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools",
   6   "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".

   8   See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.

  10 Simple Build Instructions:
  11 
  12   1. Download and install a JDK 6 from
  13      http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
  14      Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK 6.
  15 
  16   2. Download and install the Binary Plugs for the most recent JDK7 from
  17      http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/
  18      Set the environment variable ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH to the location of
  19      these binary plugs.
  20      
  21   3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
  22        gnumake sanity
  23      See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
  24   
  25   4. Do a complete build of the jdk:
  26        gnumake all
  27      The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
  28 
  29 where gnumake is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux and
  30 /usr/sfw/bin/gmake or /opt/sfw/bin/gmake on Solaris.

   1 README:
   2   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
   3   repository. This root repository will include a "make" directory,
   4   and a Makefile for building the entire OpenJDK.
   5   A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include the following
   6   6 nested repositories:
   7     "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".
   8   There are also several source downloads for the jax* repositories that
   9   will be needed.
  10 
  11   This one root repository can be obtained with something like:
  12     hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7
  13   To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run:
  14     cd openjdk7 && sh ./get_source.sh
  15   (This is identical to using the Mercurial Forest Extension command 
  16    'hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7').
  17   People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
  18   the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
  19 
  20   See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.

  22 Simple Build Instructions:
  23   
  24   0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see
  25      http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html

  26 
  27   1. If you don't have a jdk6 installed, download and install a JDK 6 from
  28      http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
  29      Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of JDK 6.

  30 
  31   2. Check the sanity of doing a build with your current system:
  32        gnumake sanity
  33      See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
  34   
  35   3. Do a complete build of the OpenJDK:
  36        gnumake all
  37      The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
  38 
  39 where gnumake is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux and
  40 /usr/sfw/bin/gmake or /opt/sfw/bin/gmake on Solaris.
