![]() Next we need to have Freetype, this step is done exacly like descriped here. Now you could take the generated ‘make.exe’ and place it into the Cygwin bin directory, but this isn’t needed. ![]() To compile, fire up Cygwin and type: $ cd /cygdrive/c/Projects/OpenJDK/make-3.82 I downloaded and unzipped the source code here: C:\Projects\OpenJDK\make-3-82 I picked version 3.82 (this one is mentioned on the OpenJDK page). Instead we need to download the source from. The version of ‘make’ that is packaged with Cygwin doesn’t work with OpenJDK. If you find a missing package, please tell me and I’ll update the post. I might have forgotten one or two, this will probably popup during the ‘configure’ step below. This worked, so I recommend doing this.ĭuring the installation you’ll need to add some development packages: Next install VisualC 2010 Express (beware, Microsoft tries to install another version, pick 2010 Express):Īnd next Windows Imaging Component (64-bit):įor some reason I ran into problems early on using the 64 bit Cygwin, so I decided to install the 64 bit version as well. So go here and install: Microsoft VisualC 2010 Express The solution? Uninstall VisualC 2010 Express and first install Windows SDK for Windows 7.1. If you install VisualC 2010 Express first this step might fail with some weird error. Instead of the blogpost above mentioning this step second, I recommend doing it first. Most information I got was from this write-up, but I encountered some problems and could skip some steps I didn’t need.Īll the tools mentioned are free, but you will have to install some Microsoft Visual C packages to compile (which most Java programmers try to avoid). With a bit of Googling and some small problems I’ve got it working just fine on my Windows 7 (64 bit). But anyway Martijn said: “Getting OpenJDK to build on Linux/Mac would be easy, Windows can be dicey” I actually choose to stick with Windows 7 because every single client I’ve worked for has Windows workstations and only require the application to run on Windows. Most cool developers today seem to be using OS/X, but some of us are stuck on Windows laptops. To prepare for this session he told us to follow the AdoptOpenJDK build instructions. ![]() Tomorrow I’ll be enjoying an OpenJDK hack session with Martijn Verburg (aka The Diabolical Developer).
