Build OpenJDK 12 On Fedora 29
JDK 12 reached General Availability on 19 March 2019. Production-ready binaries under the GPL are available from Oracle; followed by binaries from other vendors. We also can create for ourself, a custom build of OpenJDK 12 (or another versions as well).
In this article, I'll I attempt to perform custom build for OpenJDK in Linux Fedora 29 that I installed before. The Fedora has "Development Tools" installed.
Instructions for the Impatient
You can find this instruction from this link. If you are eager to try out building the JDK, these simple steps works most of the time. They assume that you have installed Mercurial and cloned the top-level JDK repository that you want to build.
- Get the complete source code:
$ hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk - Run configure:
$ bash configure
If configure fails due to missing dependencies (to either the toolchain, build tools, external libraries or the boot JDK), most of the time it prints a suggestion on how to resolve the situation on your platform. Follow the instructions, and try running bash configure again. - Run make:
$ make images - Verify your newly built JDK:
$ ./build/*/images/jdk/bin/java -version - Run basic tests:
$ make run-test-tier1
Let's drill down those steps one-by-one
Get OpenJDK 12 Source Code
You can clone the OpenJDK 12 repo or get a snapshot. The repo is quite big so it takes some time to clone.
dariawan@localhost ~]$ hg clone https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk12/ destination directory: jdk12 requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 53221 changesets with 461143 changes to 181811 files new changesets fd16c54261b3:06222165c35f updating to branch default (warning: large working directory being used without fsmonitor enabled; enable fsmonitor to improve performance; see "hg help -e fsmonitor")

Now, re-run bash configure using --with-boot-jdk={} option

And re-configure

Pretty strange. I thought I already have all "Development Tools" installed. At the end, I found out that I need gcc-c++, and this package is not part of "Development Tools" group.
[dariawan@localhost bin]$ sudo yum install gcc-c++
Again re-configure...

This time, could not find X11 libraries. As per suggestion, I install:
[dariawan@localhost jdk12]$ sudo yum install libXtst-devel libXt-devel libXrender-devel libXrandr-devel libXi-devel
Another re-configure...

Now we need install 'cups-devel'
[dariawan@localhost jdk12]$ sudo yum install cups-devel
Re-configure...

The JDK build supports building with ccache when using gcc or clang. Using ccache can radically speed up compilation of native code if you often rebuild the same sources. Your milage may vary however, so we recommend evaluating it for yourself. To enable it, make sure it's on the path and configure with '--enable-ccache'.
First, you need to install ccache:
[dariawan@localhost jdk12]$ sudo yum install ccache
[dariawan@localhost jdk12]$ bash configure --with-boot-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11 --enable-ccache configure: Configuration created at Sat Apr 20 02:00:20 +08 2019. ... ... purposely truncated ... ==================================================== A new configuration has been successfully created in /home/dariawan/jdk12/build/linux-x86_64-server-release using configure arguments '--with-boot-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11 --enable-ccache'.
