In the process of getting set up for building the open jdk I ran make sanity and was getting freetype version check failures. My version of freetype was installed via the binary installer at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm.
To fix the problem I had to copy C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\freetype6.dll to C:\OpenJDK\jdk7\build\windows-i586\btbins This line in C:\OpenJDK\jdk7\jdk\make\tools\freetypecheck\Makefile was supposed to do the latter but for whatever reason it didn't: $(CP) $(FREETYPE_DLL) $(@D)/ I did try editing the file to change FREETYPE_DLL from freetype.dll to freetype6.dll and also copy the file from C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin to C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\lib but that didn't fix the problem so maybe the $(@D) is incorrect. I haven't figured out how to get tracing turned on so I don't know what $(@D) resolved to. -- *Pete Brunet* a11ysoft - Accessibility Architecture and Development (512) 238-6967 (work), (512) 689-4155 (cell) Skype: pete.brunet IM: ptbrunet (AOL, Google), ptbru...@live.com (MSN http://www.a11ysoft.com/about/ Ionosphere: WS4G
