Hi Dave,
You'll need freetype libraries (both static and dynamic) for 8 on Windows.
You can use mine ones -
https://bitbucket.org/alexkasko/share/downloads/freetype_2.5.3_win_x86_64.zip
(and configure with --with-freetype=path/to/freetype_2.5.3_win_x86_64)
or build freetype in VS using solution from vc2010 dir.

Hiya Volker ,
I've realised (thanx entirely to you:-) that I omitted one of the most
salient facts - I was/am attempting to build 'vanilla' jdk8-b132, so your
very welcome offering bodes well for things for things to come ...

cost and before we we judge rightly of our strength to go thro' with it -

Hi Dave,
if you're building jdk9 you can now us the newly introduced
--with-freetype-src option which was introduced with
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8057538. This will build the
required freetype library during the configure step. All you need is to
download and unzip the fretype sources.
Regards,
Volker

Hi Phil ,
Ah right, obviously I'm mistaking the configure step of 'checking for
X11/extensions/shape.h... no' as being the first step in its' quest for X.

It isn't searching for X11. It is searching for freetype which has no X
dependencies.
freetype is needed on all platforms.
