In this episode, we continue to build up the tools needed to build OpenJDK7.

1. Install a bootstrap JDK. I used JDK6 Update 6 (JDK plus JRE)


2. Install the binary plugs. These are the closed parts of JDK7 that will be pulled in when necessary during the build.


3. Add JAVA_HOME to PATH so tools like jar and javac are available


4. Install the free Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
   (registration/activation required) English localized version available here


5. Install the 2005 Platform SDK


6. Install DirectX SDK Summer 2004


7. Install freetype


8. Build Freetype
   
   
   
   • Refer to http://freetype.freedesktop.org/wiki/FreeType_DLL
   
   
   • Modify "include\freetype\config\ftoption.h"
   
   
   • Create and save the _cl_options and _link_options files.
   
   
   • Add '/D"FT2_BUILD_LIBRARY"' to _cl_options
   
   
   • Open a "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" window
     

     
     
     cd freetype-2.3.5
     
     cl @_cl_options
     
     link @_link_options
     
     copy ft-msvc-dll.lib  freetype.lib
     
     copy FreeType-2.1.10-MSVC-8b2.dll freetype.dll
     
     copy FreeType-2.1.10-MSVC-8b2.dll.manifest freetype.dll.manifest
     
     exit
     
     

     
     
   
   
   
   


9. install ant and set ANT_HOME


10. install findbugs and set FINDBUGS_HOME


11. Write a build.bash script. Here is mine:
    

    set -vx

    export OPENJDK=true
    
    #
    
    export BUILD_NUMBER="b`date +%j`"
    
    export HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=4
    
    #
    
    time make sanity | tee sanity.log
    
    time make all | tee build.log
