Building OpenJDK in Windows again.

[Ingo Prötel]

Hi,

got through the make process. But when I call build/windows-i586/bin/java I get a pop-up window telling me that the
application is missing MSVCR80.dll. This dll exist at a rather obscure location in the Windows directory.
So I added that location to my PATH an got an error that the "application has made an attempt to load the C runtime
library incorrectly."

Can somebody please help me with this?

Cheers,
Ingo

You probably built with Visual Studio 2005 (VS2005). Correct?
And if this is Vista you are on your own. I don't do Vista. :^(

The official Windows compiler is VS2003, which used msvcr71.dll.
There are various Makefile changes necessary to setup for use of
a different runtime, in this case msvcr80.dll.

In particular changes to the files:
   jdk/make/common/Defs-windows.gmk and
   jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-windows.gmk
   jdk/make/java/redist/Makefile

And of less importance:
   jdk/make/common/shared/Sanity.gmk

Just look for "msvcr71.dll" and try changing it to msvcr80.dll.
You need the right msvcr* runtimes in the appropriate "bin/"
directories. But that is probably not enough.

I don't know what your error message
   "application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."
means exactly. But it's possible that you are running into the
manifest requirement that was added starting in VS2005, see
   http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6523947
Which is a unique issue starting with VS2005.

Officially we are looking at changing to VS2008, which may use
yet a different runtime library (msvcr90.dll???), but will have
the same manifest requirement. So we will deal with that when the
conversion to VS2008 happens.

Hi,

yes, I'm using VS2005 and creating the manifest file in the bin directory as described in the bug report works.
Thanks.
