configure problem

[Mike Burton]

Hi Manuella,

I had meant to reply on-list but now worries.

On closer inspection I see how / why Cygwin is need for a Windows build. So you will need to install cpio into your Cygwin environment, also:
binutils, diffutils, file, gawk, gcc-core, m4, unzip, zip

I found this from:
 http://royvanrijn.com/blog/2013/10/building-openjdk-on-windows/ <http://royvanrijn.com/blog/2013/10/building-openjdk-on-windows/>
 and  https://community.oracle.com/blogs/simonis/2011/10/28/yaojowbi-yet-another-openjdk-windows-build-instruction <https://community.oracle.com/blogs/simonis/2011/10/28/yaojowbi-yet-another-openjdk-windows-build-instruction>

Hope this helps.

Best Regards

Mike Burton
