OpenJDK Windows build with Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition

[Damjan Jovanovic]

Hi

Once again (http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2009-December/002641.html)
I am compiling OpenJDK on Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2010
Express Edition.

OpenJDK version: recent OpenJDK7 AWT repository HEAD, 5bbc7438b333 tip
Windows: Vista 32 bit
Visual studio: 2010 Express Edition
Cygwin: 1.5.25-15
Bootstrap JDK: JDK 6u20
Binary plugs: jdk-7-ea-plug-b97-windows-i586-10_jun_2010
DirectX SDK: summer 2004
Ant: 1.8.1
Freetype: 2.3.4, from the binary Windows installer
make: 3.81 from cmake.org

>From last time, I knew to do "set > a.txt", "/path/to/vcvars32.bat",
"set > b.txt", "diff -u a.txt, b.txt" in Cygwin, then convert and
populate the changed environment variables to get the Visual Studio
compilers working.

1. Compilation died very early as freetypecheck fails to compile due
to missing crtassem.h; much messing around with freetypecheck.c and
commenting stuff out kept on failing to compile or link so I wrote the
following:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	printf("Required version of freetype: 2.3.4\n");
	printf("Detected freetype headers: 2.3.4\n");
	printf("Detected freetype library: 2.3.4\n");
	return 0;
}

Compiled that with mingw, and copied the .exe where it's expected, to
fool the build env into proceeding.

2. Complation then failed because there's "nothing to do"; apparently
the wrong "find" command was in my $PATH first.

3. The new $PATH messed up the path to "make", fixed it again.

4. Next there's an exception because jaxp needs Internet access... set
that up and tried again.

5. It's hotspot's turn to fail next:

        link.exe /manifest  kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib  comd
lg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib  uuid.lib Wsock32.lib w
inmm.lib /nologo /machine:I386 /opt:REF  /opt:ICF,8 /map /debug /subsystem:conso

filebuff.obj forms.obj formsopt.obj formssel.obj opcodes.obj output_c.obj output
_h.obj
/usr/bin/link: extra operand `user32.lib'
Try `/usr/bin/link --help' for more information.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\cygwin\bin\link.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BI
N\nmake.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
make[3]: *** [generic_build2] Error 2

Apparently /usr/bin/link is the wrong "link"...

$ which -a link
/usr/bin/link
/bin/link
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/BIN/link
/usr/bin/link
/bin/link

So in $PATH I first needed VC's paths with "link", then the path to
cmake.org's "make", then Cygwin's paths with "find", then everything
else.

6. Next a wrong path to "rc". I reapplied one of my old patches:

 	COMPILER_PATH := $(error COMPILER_PATH cannot be empty here)
       endif

7. I had to reapply the above MT fix to the Visual Studio 10 section
of that file as well.

It then successfully compiled. I am attaching the environment variables I used.

All in all, still some work, but much easier than my last attempt.

Thank you
