Sorry, I had forgotten how the old build worked. When using the old build system I frequently used ALT_OUTPUTDIR and when using that it was always better to use an absolute path. >>> It seems to me that OUTPUTDIR is computed in the jdk subdirectory makefiles >>> while it is not in the top level Makefile.

This works! I was unaware that anyone had gotten this to work. This is actually very good news! I do note that this could be simplified using the new build system and some items like DirectX detection are no longer relevant. >> >> Mike >> >>> Francis >>> >>> FrancisANDRE@idefix /cygdrive/Z/JDK/hsx/jdk7u >>> $ make -d sanity >>> GNU Make 3.82 >>> Built for i686-pc-cygwin >>> Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc. >>> License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later >>> <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> >>> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. >>> There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. >>> Reading makefiles... >>> Reading makefile `Makefile'... >>> Reading makefile `jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-control.gmk' (search path) >>> (no ~ expansion)... >>> Reading makefile `jdk/make/common/shared/Platform.gmk' (search path) (no ~ >>> expansion)... >>> Reading makefile `jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk' (search path) (no ~ >>> expansion)... >>> Reading makefile `jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-utils.gmk' (search path) (no >>> ~ expansion)... >>> Reading makefile `jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-versions.gmk' (search path) >>> (no ~ expansion)... >>> Reading makefile `jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-windows.gmk' (search path) >>> (no ~ expansion)... >>> jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:563: *** "ERROR: Trouble with the absolute >>> path for OUTPUTDIR './bui >>> ld/windows-i586'".
