mysterious problem with building openjdk7,

[Dang Nhan Nguyen]

Hi All,

I recently built OpenJDK again from sources obtained from Mercurial repos (Windows x86_64/cygwin).
I used the same steps and configuration that I did (and succeeded) before with Bundle sources I download from the webpage.
However, this time I got some unexpected error:

*********************************************************************
CommandPrompt$> buildenv.bat                   %%see buildenv.bat below
bash-3.2$ unset JAVA_HOME
bash-3.2$ make sanity

cygwin warning:

  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/wscript.exe
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

jdk/make/common/shared/Compiler-msvc.gmk:150: *** COMPILER_PATH cannot be empty
here.  Stop.
*********************************************************************

The warning and error is unreasonable since all the mentioned environment variables were set (see my configuration scripts: buildenv.bat below). And when I check the output directory (D:/Tools/openjdk/jdk7_b121_x86_64_mer), there is no content inside even a log for sanity check.

As I said, with the same steps and configuration file, I succeeded building the OpenJDK Bundle. I want to take the course from Mercurial repos because it has src\share\tools\ProjectCreator that the bundle version does not have.

Could someone please explain what happened and help me through this problem?

Thank you,
/Nhan
