Trying on Windows now. I'm using a VirtualBox VM and the repos are in a
read-only shared folder. So I create a directory in its C: and run
configure there. But when I run make, it shows
$ make
########################################################################
########################################################################
##### Entering langtools for target(s) all #####
########################################################################
mktemp: failed to create directory via template `tmp.XXXXXX': Read-only
file system
/cygdrive/m/space/repos/jdk8/jdk8/common/makefiles/Makefile:96: recipe
for target `langtools' failed
make: *** [langtools] Error 1
Here m is the read-only shared folder. Shouldn't the build process only
writes into the new directory inside the virtual machine?
Thanks

The build-infra project [1] has been working for a while with creating a
new build system. The goals of the project include, but are not limited
to, improved build performance and improved ease of use.
The first part of this project has now been pushed to the jdk8 master
forest. This means that the new build system is available for you to try
out! The old build system is still there, and if you want to continue to
use it, you will notice no difference (for now...).
But if you are interested in trying the new build system, we welcome you
to experiment with it! The basic operation is:
cd common/makefiles
../autoconf/configure
make
More information is available in the new build README [2]. If you want
to try the new build system, please read it first.
Please note that the new build system is not yet complete. We do not yet
have full platform support, nor are all parts of the old build converted
(but then we fall back on the old build system), and there are likely to
be bugs. Most of all, we need to have exposure on a wide range of
different build systems, since the reality is always so much messier
than you'd want to believe. :-) Please help us to resolve such issues
early by trying the new build system!
Any questions or discussions on the new build system should be sent to
build-dev@openjdk.java.net.
