Rishi,

What ever "make" command exists in <Your cygwin install dir>\bin is the gnumake. If it is not named so, you can change your config file to use that make. This is not MKS specific and you should be able to do all the builds with cygwin (except for VC compiler/linker and other binary plus of course).

Thanks,
Sandeep

thanks a lot for your help,
actually the freetype needs to be built, the one supplied with cygwin directly doesnt work. I had to just open the Visual Studio project file from freetype-2.3.5\builds\win32\visualc and open it is Visual Studio.net <http://Studio.net> 2003 (need to change its version from 8.00 to 7.10 otherwise it wont open) and compile the project, it will produce the required .lib files , which can be given to ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH i did the same and it is working fine now.(the build is running now and passed the point where it used to get stuck while freetype check)

I could not use the bat file at http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2007-August/000187.html because i couldnt find the gnumake command for cygwin (probably it needs MKS) and i dont have MKS .

Thanks a lot once again.
-Regards
Rishi

    Having just done this recently, I'd suggest going through the
    archives and finding Igor's posts on the subject, and work from
    there. Make sure you have the latest version of FreeType, because
    it sounds like yours may be the wrong version. Also, when building
    using the b17 (most recent) drop, build with "OPENJDK=true" on the
    command line.

    You presumably are running "make sanity" OK?

    hi all,
        I am a newbie for openjdk build so forgive if it seems fairly
    easy.
    I am trying to build openjdk on windows xp sp2. have gone through
    all setup and tools installation and successfully able to build
    hotspot jvm.
    but when I am trying to build complete jdk it is giving the
    following error.
    ERROR: FreeType version  2.3.0 or higher is required.

    freetype is installed by cygwin itself, I downloaded the binary
    version also and putting that in to the path is not making any
    difference, is there any specific way to do that?
    -Regards
