building openjdk for windows ,freetype

[Igor Nekrestyanov]

You need to start make (or gmake) from cygwin shell. Otherwise paths are 
not set correctly.

I suggest to try to repeat my windows build story described here (make 
sure you installed everything mentioned in the README-builds.html):
    http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2007-August/000182.html

Adjust buildenv.bat for your setup and use following additional hints 
found recently:
   1) change PATH to include cygwin directory on the first place (last 
in my example)
   2) make sure your username ($USERNAME) has no spaces
