Yes. I used Visual C++ Express 2005 SP1.

You did this with Visual C++ Express 2005? (The term "VS2005 Express" throws
me, as there is no "Visual Studio Express" SKU from Microsoft that I'm aware

Subject: Re: Success :) building openjdk for windows

I took some part in testing the VS2005 Express to build the JDK. So far
there's no any major problem present except the following:

However, this RFE has a very simple workaround provided. Please try it

software to work on open source development is not very encouraging.

I agree it will be nice to build with freely available tools only.
I have vague recollection that usage of free MS compiler was
evaluated n
the past and there were some complications.
Anyway, this sounds like interesting project to explore (adapting
build
procedure to use free tools only) even without access to mercurial.
