前言

现在看的资料都是编译 openjdk7 的，openjdk8好像已经 openjdk7 编译方式大一样，按照前辈的文章使用

make sanity

会提示找不到 sanity 规则，然后编译过程其实基本就直接

./configuremake all

官方的 README 写的很清楚。

下面记录下过程

下载代码

hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u jdk8ucd jdk8u bash ./get_source.sh

然后下载代码，进入代码目录：

cd jdk8u

代码目录中有一个 README-builds.html 描述了如何　build 整个系统,一些细节需要自己去寻找。

安装依赖

sudo aptitude build-dep openjdk-7 sudo aptitude install openjdk-7-jdk

配置

• 环境变量

export LANG=C export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/bin:${PATH}"

• 配置编译选项

bash ./configure

这样生成相应默认配置，如果有需要，比如想编译出调试版本的，可以给 configure 加参数。

A new configuration has been successfully created in/home/minix/SourceCode/openjdk8/jdk8u/build/linux-x86-normal-server-releaseusing default settings.Configuration summary:* Debug level:    release* JDK variant:    normal* JVM variants:   server* OpenJDK target: OS: linux, CPU architecture: x86, address length: 32Tools summary:* Boot JDK:       java version "1.7.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)  (at /home/minix/Software/jdk1.7.0_17)* C Compiler:     gcc-4.6 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) version 4.6.3 (at /usr/bin/gcc-4.6)* C++ Compiler:   g++-4.6 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) version 4.6.3 (at /usr/bin/g++-4.6)Build performance summary:* Cores to use:   3* Memory limit:   3878 MB* ccache status:  not installed (consider installing)Build performance tip: ccache gives a tremendous speedup for C++ recompilations.You do not have ccache installed. Try installing it.You might be able to fix this by running 'sudo apt-get install ccache'.

可以看出提示缺少 ccache 包，按提示安装就可以了。从提示可以看出，编译级别是 release，另外还有几种编译级别，可以在调试时候提供更多的信息。例如：

bash ./configure --enable-debug

这样会生成 fastdebug 版本的配置信息：

A new configuration has been successfully created in/home/minix/openjdk8/jdk8u/build/linux-x86-normal-server-fastdebugusing configure arguments '--enable-debug'.Configuration summary:* Debug level:    fastdebug* JDK variant:    normal* JVM variants:   server* OpenJDK target: OS: linux, CPU architecture: x86, address length: 32Tools summary:* Boot JDK:       java version "1.7.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)  (at /home/minix/Software/jdk1.7.0_17)* C Compiler:     gcc-4.6 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) version 4.6.3 (at /usr/bin/gcc-4.6)* C++ Compiler:   g++-4.6 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) version 4.6.3 (at /usr/bin/g++-4.6)Build performance summary:* Cores to use:   3* Memory limit:   3878 MB* ccache status:  installed and in use

注意编译的级别已经变成 fastdebug 了。

--enable-debug 其实相当于　--with-debug-level=fastdebug,　可以通过这样的参数选项指定编译级别。一共可以指定三种级别: release, fastdebug, slowdebug, slowdebug 含有最丰富的调试信息，没有这些信息，很多执行可能被优化掉，我们单步执行时，可能看不到一些变量的值。所以最好指定slowdebug 为编译级别

编译

编译直接

make

就可以了，如果提示

No CONF given, but more than one configuration found in /home/minix/openjdk8/jdk8u//build.Available configurations:* linux-x86-normal-server-fastdebug* linux-x86-normal-server-releasePlease retry building with CONF=
    
      (or SPEC=
     
      )
     
    

需要指定使用哪个编译配置：

make CONF=linux-x86-normal-server-fastdebug

最后编译成功后，会提示：

----- Build times -------Start 2014-08-22 10:56:52End   2014-08-22 11:16:3100:00:30 corba00:13:38 hotspot00:00:22 jaxp00:00:30 jaxws00:04:10 jdk00:00:29 langtools00:19:39 TOTAL

查看 build 目录，可以看到 linux-x86-normal-server-fastdebug

切换到 jdk/bin 目录：

cd linux-x86-normal-server-fastdebug/jdk/bin/

运行可执行文件 java

./java -version

会得到提示

openjdk version "1.8.0-internal-fastdebug"OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-fastdebug-minix_2014_08_22_10_56-b00)OpenJDK Server VM (build 25.40-b05-fastdebug, mixed mode)

调试

下面展示一个启动 GDB, 加断点，并运行一个 Java 程序的过程。
