Description
I am trying to build jdk9/client on a Windows 7 system with Visual Studio 2013 Professional and also the Windows 7.1 SDK samples, which is required for building the JavaFX media library. Visual Studio 2010 is not installed.
Running config on this system fails because the Visual Studio detection logic assumes that if Windows 7.1 SDK is there, then the system has VS 2010 and it tries to use that.
$ sh configure --with-boot-jdk="C:/java/x64/jdk1.8.0_31" --with-ant-home="${ANT_HOME}"
...
