Fredrik, Ulf started this by asking about openjdk 6 which does need VS2003. It doesn't support VS2010 .. and JDK 7 and 8 already build with VS2010 Express and have done so for well over a year. No need to use that forest, just standard 7. -phil. On 10/26/2011 9:34 AM, Fredrik Öhrström wrote:

According to german Wikipedia [1], afxres.h could be simply replaced by windows.h for use with Express versions. [1] http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Express_Editions: "Projekte, die die afxres.h-Datei einbinden, können dennoch kompiliert werden, wenn man stattdessen die wind

Does the JDK source still depend on afxres.h? That was the stopper when I wrote up some blog entries about using the free compilers, years ago: http://blogs.oracle.com/TimBell/entry/building_jdk7_on_windows_xp http://blogs.oracle.com/TimBell/entry/building_a_href_http_openjdk1 http://blogs.oracle
