Problem related to building JDK in Windows

[Tim Bell]

If you are building the JDK on WIndows, you probably have Cygwin 
installed (you won't get very far without it).

I suggest you try the Cygwin form of the path instead of the DOS form, 
and use forward slashes, like this:

> ./configure
> --with-freetype-lib=/cygdrive/e/PoojaJDK8/freetype-2.4.7/freetype-2.4.7/objs/win64/vc2010
> --with-freetype-include=/cygdrive/e/PoojaJDK8/freetype-2.4.7/freetype-2.4.7/include/freetype

Hope this helps-

Tim
