Actually I think this failure is because I accidentally installed two different versions of the windows 7 sdk. I've rebuilt my system and am starting the build again.
The OpenJDK README does require a specific version of DirectX 9 SDK - the Summer 2004 version. The *problem* is that the Summer 2004 build is not available anywhere - at least I couldn't find it. I settled for August 2006 build, which was the closest I could find. If you or anyone could point me at a link with the 2004 build I'd be grateful. For Windows at least the OpenJDK build seems to me to be fraught with difficulties in getting the correct version of tools that work together. Most notable are some Microsoft products (DirectX) and recent versions of Cygwin hanging building Hotspot. The almost impossibility of clean uninstalls of Microsoft products adds to the difficulties here. I'm not sure anything can be done about this, at least for a make system for JDK 7 that is clearly long in the tooth. Do you think that the JDK8 build system will be sturdier with Windows?
