Subject: RE HOTSPOT builds

I've been comparing the Hotspot build steps as documented in the SCSL
build documents for Ladybird and Merlin and comparing them to what RE
does. There seems to be a big difference between what we do to build
hotspot and we tell the rest of the world to do.

Is the SCSL documentation incomplete?

LADYBIRD

The SCSL build readme at /java/jdk/1.3.1/ws/MASTER/j2se/src/share/doc/build/README.html

        3.Change directories to the location of the build scripts.
               cd build/solaris

        4.Run the build script.
          To build the Java HotSpot Server VM:
               gnumake product
          To build the Java HotSpot Client VM:
               gnumake product1
          Near the end of the output for the product build, a message will indicate
          that "test" is being skipped. This is expected and does not indicate a build
          error.

        5.Build the debug version of the VM.
          First, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the top-level of the bootstrap
          Java 2 SDK that you installed in step 1. This
          means that JAVA_HOME will be set to the same value as ALT_BOOTDIR.
          To build the debug version of the Java HotSpot Server VM:
               gnumake jvmg
          To build the debug version of the Java HotSpot Client VM:
               gnumake jvmg1



However, this is how RE performs a build:

gnumake -f /usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.3.1/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.3.1fcs/build/solaris/makefiles/buildtree.make
GAMMADIR=/usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.3.1/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.3.1fcs OS_FAMILY=solaris ARCH=sparc VARIANT=compiler2

cd solaris_sparc_compiler2/product && gnumake

cd solaris_sparc_compiler2/jvmg && gnumake

gnumake -f /usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.3.1/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.3.1fcs/build/solaris/makefiles/buildtree.make
GAMMADIR=/usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.3.1/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.3.1fcs OS_FAMILY=solaris ARCH=sparc VARIANT=compiler1

cd solaris_sparc_compiler1/product && gnumake

cd solaris_sparc_compiler1/jvmg && gnumake

MERLIN

The SCSL build readme at /java/jdk/1.4/ws/MASTER/j2se/src/share/doc/build/README.html
identifies the following build steps:

Solaris Build

        1.Change directories to the location of the VM build script.
               cd <scsl_installation_dir>/hotspot/build/solaris

        2.Run the build script for the product version of the VMs.
          Build the Java HotSpot Server VM:
               gnumake product
          Build the Java HotSpot Client VM:
               gnumake product1

        3.Build the debug version of the VM.
          First, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the top-level of the
          bootstrap J2SDK 1.3.0. This means that JAVA_HOME will be set to the
          same value as ALT_BOOTDIR.
          To build the debug version of the Java HotSpot Server VM:
               gnumake jvmg
          To build the debug version of the Java HotSpot Client VM:
               gnumake jvmg1

However, RE is using these:

gnumake -f /usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.4beta/build/solaris/makefiles/buildtree.make
GAMMADIR=/usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.4beta OS_FAMILY=solaris ARCH=sparc VARIANT=compiler1

gnumake -f /usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.4beta/build/solaris/makefiles/buildtree.make
GAMMADIR=/usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/ws/solsparc/hotspot1.4beta OS_FAMILY=solaris ARCH=sparc VARIANT=compiler2

gnumake -f /usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/test/solsparc/hotspot1_4beta-src-solsparc/build/solaris/makefiles/buildtree.make
GAMMADIR=/usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/test/solsparc/hotspot1_4beta-src-solsparc OS_FAMILY=solaris ARCH=sparc VARIANT=compiler1

gnumake -f /usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/test/solsparc/hotspot1_4beta-src-solsparc/build/solaris/makefiles/buildtree.make
GAMMADIR=/usr/re/hotspot/hotspot1.4/test/solsparc/hotspot1_4beta-src-solsparc OS_FAMILY=solaris ARCH=sparc VARIANT=compiler2
