Hi Dalibor
Everybody at Oracle and may be elsewhere knows how difficult is the task
of building OpenJDK on WXP/W7. There was even in a previous OpenJDK
contest a proposal for making this windows build smoother... Thus, the
blog of Volker SIMONIS is really of a great help to avoid loosing time,
energy and aspirine for building OpenJDK on Windows. I was specially
redevable to Volker on the chapter about the specific version of Make
3.82 which in the standard cygwin delivery does not understand the
Windows Letter based path. Without his guide on compiling and running
the latest Make out of cygwin, NO ONE, and I repeat, NO ONE can make the
OpenJDK because it fails without a clear and understandable errors.
Moreover, when asking the build list about those errors, no one answers
because no one can imagine that the Cygwin make cannot manage Windows
letter based path.
About make versions - I recommend using this one
(http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe-cygwin1.7) for jdk7 windows
builds. I tried some make versions (binary and source) and only this
binary worked for me with amd64 builds. Some make versions fail
immediately, some work on i386 but fail on amd64 during hotspot build. I
haven't tried make 4.0 though (it was not available at the time).
So, yes, adding the blog of Wolker SIMONIS or may be a reformatted
text*is a major help for building OpenJDK on windows*.
Please, reconsider your position on adding this blog post as a README file.

Hi
I submit this patch for review for this Bug ID: 9007227: -
make/sanity-rules.gmk:61: *** multiple target patterns. Stop
The webrev.ksh is broken on WXP/Cygwin. So I am providing here the hg
outgoing report as well as the new file README-Windows-Cygwin-VS2010
I don't think that it's necessary to include blog posts in the source
code archives. ;)
cheers,
