The Windows JDK build gets severe heartburn when spaces appear in any path. You didn't include the error output, but my first guess is that the copy command tried to access "C:\Program" Use the Windows "dir /x" command to look up the mangled (short) form of the "C:\Program Files" directory, which is usually something like "PROGRA~1" Here is what I use on my Windows OpenJDK build machine to get freetype: ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=c:/devtools/windows/freetype-i586/include ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=c:/devtools/windows/freetype-i586/lib Note: no spaces in the paths, and no backward slashes: '\' Hope this helps. If not, please post the relevant output from your build log. Tim
