Building OpenJDK Version 11 with OpenJ9

Building OpenJDK 11 with OpenJ9 will be familiar to anyone who has already built OpenJDK. The easiest method involves the use of Docker and Dockerfiles to create a build environment that contains everything you need to produce a Linux binary of OpenJDK V11 with the Eclipse OpenJ9 virtual machine. If this method sounds ideal for you, go straight to the Linux 🐧 section.

Build instructions are available for the following platforms:

User documentation for the latest release of Eclipse OpenJ9 is available at the Eclipse Foundation. If you build a binary from the current OpenJ9 source, new features and changes might be in place for the next release of OpenJ9. Draft user documentation for the next release of OpenJ9 can be found here.

Linux

🐧 This build process provides detailed instructions for building a Linux x86-64 binary of OpenJDK V11 with OpenJ9 on Ubuntu 16.04. The binary can be built directly on your system, in a virtual machine, or in a Docker container 🐳.

If you are using a different Linux distribution, you might have to review the list of libraries that are bundled with your distribution and/or modify the instructions to use equivalent commands to the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT). For example, for Centos, substitute the apt-get command with yum.

If you want to build a binary for Linux on a different architecture, such as Power Systems™ or z Systems™, the process is very similar and any additional information for those architectures are included as Notes 📝 as we go along. See AArch64 section for building for AArch64 Linux.

1. Prepare your system

🐧 Instructions are provided for preparing your system with and without the use of Docker technology.

Skip to Setting up your build environment without Docker.

Setting up your build environment with Docker 🐳

If you want to build a binary by using a Docker container, follow these steps to prepare your system:

  1. The first thing you need to do is install Docker. You can download the free Community edition from here, which also contains instructions for installing Docker on your system. You should also read the Getting started guide to familiarise yourself with the basic Docker concepts and terminology.

  2. Obtain the docker build script to build and run a container that has all the correct software pre-requisites.

Download the docker build script to your local system or copy and paste the following command:```

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse/openj9/master/buildenv/docker/mkdocker.sh
  1. Next, run the following command to build a Docker image, called openj9:
bash mkdocker.sh --tag=openj9 --dist=ubuntu --version=16.04 --build
  1. Start a Docker container from the openj9 image with the following command, where -v maps any directory, <host_directory>, on your local system to the containers /root/hostdir directory so that you can store the binaries, once they are built:
docker run -v <host_directory>:/root/hostdir -it openj9

📝 Depending on your Docker system configuration, you might need to prefix the docker commands with sudo.

Now that you have the Docker image running, you are ready to move to the next step, Get the source.

Setting up your build environment without Docker

If you don't want to user Docker, you can still build directly on your Ubuntu system or in a Ubuntu virtual machine. Use the output of the following command like a recipe card to determine the software dependencies that must be installed on the system, plus a few configuration steps.

bash mkdocker.sh --tag=openj9 --dist=ubuntu --version=16.04 --print
  1. Install the list of dependencies that can be obtained with the apt-get command from the following section of the Dockerfile:
apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -qq -y --no-install-recommends \
    ...
  1. The previous step installed g++-7 and gcc-7 packages, which might be different than the default version installed on your system. Export variables to set the version used in the build.
export CC=gcc-7 CXX=g++-7
  1. Download and setup freemarker.jar into a directory.
cd /<my_home_dir>
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemarker/files/freemarker/2.3.8/freemarker-2.3.8.tar.gz/download -O freemarker.tgz
tar -xzf freemarker.tgz freemarker-2.3.8/lib/freemarker.jar --strip=2
rm -f freemarker.tgz
  1. Download and setup the boot JDK using the latest AdoptOpenJDK v11 build.
cd /<my_home_dir>
wget -O bootjdk11.tar.gz "https://api.adoptopenjdk.net/v3/binary/latest/11/ga/linux/x64/jdk/openj9/normal/adoptopenjdk"
tar -xzf bootjdk11.tar.gz
rm -f bootjdk11.tar.gz
mv $(ls | grep -i jdk-11) bootjdk11

2. Get the source

🐧 First you need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project. This repository is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11.git

Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:

cd openj9-openjdk-jdk11

Now fetch additional sources from the Eclipse OpenJ9 project and its clone of Eclipse OMR:

bash get_source.sh

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK with OpenJ9 binary with OpenSSL support and you do not have a built version of OpenSSL v1.1.x available locally, you must specify --openssl-version=<version> where <version> is an OpenSSL level like 1.1.0 or 1.1.1. If the specified version of OpenSSL is already available in the standard location (SRC_DIR/openssl), get_source.sh uses it. Otherwise, the script deletes the content and downloads the specified version of OpenSSL source to the standard location and builds it. If you already have the version of OpenSSL in the standard location but you want a fresh copy, you must delete your current copy.

3. Configure

🐧 When you have all the source files that you need, run the configure script, which detects how to build in the current build environment.

bash configure --with-freemarker-jar=/<my_home_dir>/freemarker.jar --with-boot-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/adoptojdk-java-11

⚠️ You must give an absolute path to freemarker.jar

⚠️ The path in the example --with-boot-jdk= option is appropriate for the Docker installation. If not using the Docker environment, set the path appropriate for your setup, such as "/<my_home_dir>/bootjdk11" as setup in the previous instructions.

📝 Non-compressed references support: If you require a heap size greater than 57GB, enable a noncompressedrefs build with the --with-noncompressedrefs option during this step.

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK that includes OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl={fetched|system|path_to_library}

where:

  • fetched uses the OpenSSL source downloaded by get-source.sh in step 2. Get the source.
  • system uses the package installed OpenSSL library in the system.
  • path_to_library uses a custom OpenSSL library that's already built.

If you want to include the OpenSSL cryptographic library in the OpenJDK binary, you must include --enable-openssl-bundling.

4. Build

🐧 Now you're ready to build OpenJDK V11 with OpenJ9:

make all

⚠️ If you just type make, rather than make all your build will be incomplete, because the default make target is exploded-image. If you want to specify make instead of make all, you must add --default-make-target=images when you run the configure script.

A binary for the full developer kit (jdk) is built and stored in the following directory:

  • build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk

    🐳 If you built your binaries in a Docker container, copy the binaries to the containers /root/hostdir directory so that you can access them on your local system. You'll find them in the directory you set for <host_directory> when you started your Docker container. See Setting up your build environment with Docker.

    📝 On other architectures the /jdk directory is in build/linux-ppc64le-normal-server-release/images (Linux on 64-bit Power systems) and build/linux-s390x-normal-server-release/images (Linux on 64-bit z Systems).

    📝 If you want a binary for the runtime environment (jre), you must run make legacy-jre-image, which produces a jre build in the build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jre directory.

5. Test

🐧 For a simple test, try running the java -version command. Change to the /jdk directory:

cd build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk

Run:

./bin/java -version

Here is some sample output:

openjdk version "11-internal" 2018-09-25
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11-internal+0-adhoc..jdk11)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM (build master-ee517c1, JRE 11 Linux amd64-64-Bit Compressed References 20180910_000000 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9   - ee517c1
OMR      - f29d158
JCL      - 98f2038 based on jdk-11+28)

AIX

📘

🚧 This section is still under construction. Further contributions expected.

The following instructions guide you through the process of building an OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9 on AIX 7.2.

1. Prepare your system

📘 You must install the following AIX Licensed Program Products (LPPs):

You must also install the boot JDK: Java11_AIX_PPC64.

A number of RPM packages are also required. The easiest method for installing these packages is to use yum, because yum takes care of any additional dependent packages for you.

Download the following file: yum_install_aix-ppc64.txt

This file contains a list of required RPM packages that you can install by specifying the following command:

yum shell yum_install_aix-ppc64.txt

It is important to take the list of package dependencies from this file because it is kept right up to date by our developers.

Download and setup freemarker.jar into your home directory by running the following commands:

cd /<my_home_dir>
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemarker/files/freemarker/2.3.8/freemarker-2.3.8.tar.gz/download -O freemarker.tgz
tar -xzf freemarker.tgz freemarker-2.3.8/lib/freemarker.jar --strip=2

Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:

cd openj9-openjdk-jdk11

Now fetch additional sources from the Eclipse OpenJ9 project and its clone of Eclipse OMR:

bash get_source.sh

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK with OpenJ9 binary with OpenSSL support and you do not have a built version of OpenSSL v1.1.x available locally, you must specify --openssl-version=<version> where <version> is an OpenSSL level like 1.1.0 or 1.1.1. If the specified version of OpenSSL is already available in the standard location (SRC_DIR/openssl), get_source.sh uses it. Otherwise, the script deletes the content and downloads the specified version of OpenSSL source to the standard location and builds it. If you already have the version of OpenSSL in the standard location but you want a fresh copy, you must delete your current copy.

3. Configure

📘 When you have all the source files that you need, run the configure script, which detects how to build in the current build environment.

bash configure --with-freemarker-jar=/<my_home_dir>/freemarker.jar \
               --with-cups-include=<cups_include_path> \
               --disable-warnings-as-errors

where <my_home_dir> is the location where you stored freemarker.jar and <cups_include_path> is the absolute path to CUPS. For example, /opt/freeware/include.

📝 Non-compressed references support: If you require a heap size greater than 57GB, enable a noncompressedrefs build with the --with-noncompressedrefs option during this step.

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK that includes OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl={fetched|system|path_to_library}

where:

  • fetched uses the OpenSSL source downloaded by get-source.sh in step 2. Get the source.

  • system uses the package installed OpenSSL library in the system.

  • path_to_library uses a custom OpenSSL library that's already built.

Windows

📒

The following instructions guide you through the process of building a Windows OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9. This process can be used to build binaries for Windows.

1. Prepare your system

📒 You must install a number of software dependencies to create a suitable build environment on your system:

Add the binary path of Clang to the PATH environment variable to override the older version of clang integrated in Cygwin. e.g.

export PATH="/cygdrive/c/LLVM/bin:$PATH" (in Cygwin)

Add the path to nasm.exe to the PATH environment variable to override the older version of NASM installed in Cygwin. e.g.

export PATH="/cygdrive/c/NASM:$PATH" (in Cygwin)

Update your LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to provide a path to the Windows debugging tools with the following commands:

set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)\sdk\inc;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)\sdk\lib;%LIB%

You can download Visual Studio, Freemarker manually or obtain them using the wget utility. If you choose to use wget, follow these steps:

  • Open a cygwin terminal and change to the /temp directory:
cd /cygdrive/c/temp
  • Run the following commands:
wget https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=532495 -O vs2013.exe
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemarker/files/freemarker/2.3.8/freemarker-2.3.8.tar.gz/download -O freemarker.tgz
  • Before installing Visual Studio, change the permissions on the installation file by running chmod u+x vs2013.exe.
  • Install Visual Studio by running the file vs2013.exe (There is no special step required for downloading/installing VS2017. Please follow the guide of the downloaded installer to install all required components, especially for VC compiler).

Not all of the shared libraries that are included with Visual Studio are registered during installation. In particular, the msdia120.dll(VS2013) or msdia140.dll(VS2017) libraries must be registered manually. To do so, execute the following from a command prompt:

VS2013

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\DIA SDK\bin\msdia120.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\DIA SDK\bin\amd64\msdia120.dll"

VS2017

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\DIA SDK\bin\msdia140.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\DIA SDK\bin\amd64\msdia140.dll"
  • To unpack the Freemarker and Freetype compressed files, run:
tar -xzf freemarker.tgz freemarker-2.3.8/lib/freemarker.jar --strip=2

2. Get the source

📒 First you need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project. This repository is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches.

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK with OpenJ9 binary with OpenSSL support and you do not have a built version of OpenSSL v1.1.x available locally, you must obtain a prebuilt OpenSSL v1.1.x binary.

3. Configure

📒 When you have all the source files that you need, run the configure script, which detects how to build in the current build environment.

bash configure --disable-warnings-as-errors \
               --with-toolchain-version=2013 or 2017 \
               --with-freemarker-jar=/cygdrive/c/temp/freemarker.jar

Note: there is no need to specify --with-toolchain-version for 2017 as it will be located automatically

📝 Modify the paths for freemarker if you manually downloaded and unpacked these dependencies into different directories. If Java 11 is not available on the path, add the --with-boot-jdk=<path_to_jdk11> configuration option.

📝 Non-compressed references support: If you require a heap size greater than 57GB, enable a noncompressedrefs build with the --with-noncompressedrefs option during this step.

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK that includes OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl=path_to_library, where path_to_library specifies the path to the prebuilt OpenSSL library that you obtained in 2.

macOS

🍎 The following instructions guide you through the process of building a macOS OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9. This process can be used to build binaries for macOS 10.

1. Prepare your system

🍎 You must install a number of software dependencies to create a suitable build environment on your system:

The following dependencies can be installed by using Homebrew (the specified versions are minimums):

Bash version 4 is required by the ./get_source.sh script that you will use in step 2, which is installed to /usr/local/bin/bash. To prevent problems during the build process, make Bash v4 your default shell by typing the following commands:

# Find the <CURRENT_SHELL> for <USERNAME>
dscl . -read <USERNAME> UserShell

# Change the shell to Bash version 4 for <USERNAME>
dscl . -change <USERNAME> UserShell <CURRENT_SHELL> /usr/local/bin/bash

# Verify that the shell has been changed
dscl . -read <USERNAME> UserShell

2. Get the source

🍎 First you need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project. This repository is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches.

Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11.git

Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:

cd openj9-openjdk-jdk11

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK with OpenJ9 binary with OpenSSL support and you do not have a built version of OpenSSL v1.1.x available locally, you must obtain a prebuilt OpenSSL v1.1.x binary.

3. Configure

🍎 When you have all the source files that you need, run the configure script, which detects how to build in the current build environment.

bash configure --with-boot-jdk=<path_to_boot_JDK11>

📝 Modify the path for the macOS boot JDK that you installed in step 1. If configure is unable to detect Freetype, add the option --with-freetype=<path to freetype>, where <path to freetype> is typically /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.9.1/.

📝 Non-compressed references support: If you require a heap size greater than 57GB, enable a noncompressedrefs build with the --with-noncompressedrefs option during this step.

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK that includes OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl=path_to_library, where path_to_library specifies the path to the prebuilt OpenSSL library that you obtained in 2. Get the source. If you want to include the OpenSSL cryptographic library in the OpenJDK binary, you must also include --enable-openssl-bundling.

ARM

📱

🚧 We haven't created a full build process for ARM yet? Watch this space!

AArch64

🐧 The following instructions guide you through the process of building an OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9 for AArch64 (ARMv8 64-bit) Linux.

1. Prepare your system

The binary can be built on your AArch64 Linux system, or in a Docker container 🐳 on x86-64 Linux.

Note: Building on x86-64 without Docker is not tested.

2. Get the source

🐧 First you need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project. This repository is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11.git

Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:

cd openj9-openjdk-jdk11

Now fetch additional sources from the Eclipse OpenJ9 project and its clone of Eclipse OMR:

bash get_source.sh

3. Prepare for build on AArch64 Linux

You must install a number of software dependencies to create a suitable build environment on your AArch64 Linux system:

See Setting up your build environment without Docker in Linux section for other dependencies to be installed.

4. Create the Docker image

If you build the binary on x86-64 Linux, run the following commands to build a Docker image for AArch64 cross-compilation, called openj9aarch64:

cd openj9/buildenv/docker/aarch64-linux_CC
docker build -t openj9aarch64 -f Dockerfile .

Start a Docker container from the openj9aarch64 image with the following command, where <host_directory> is the directory that contains openj9-openjdk-jdk11 in your local system:

docker run -v /<host_directory>/openj9-openjdk-jdk11:/root/openj9-openjdk-jdk11 -it openj9aarch64

Then go to the openj9-openjdk-jdk11 directory:

cd /root/openj9-openjdk-jdk11

5. Configure

🐧 When you have all the source files that you need, run the configure script, which detects how to build in the current build environment.

For building on AArch64 Linux:

bash configure --with-freemarker-jar=/<path_to>/freemarker.jar \
               --with-boot-jdk=/<path_to_boot_JDK> \
               --disable-warnings-as-errors

For building in the Docker container:

bash configure --openjdk-target=${OPENJ9_CC_PREFIX} \
               --with-x=${OPENJ9_CC_DIR}/${OPENJ9_CC_PREFIX}/ \
               --with-freetype-include=${OPENJ9_CC_DIR}/${OPENJ9_CC_PREFIX}/libc/usr/include/freetype2 \
               --with-freetype-lib=${OPENJ9_CC_DIR}/${OPENJ9_CC_PREFIX}/libc/usr/lib \
               --with-freemarker-jar=/root/freemarker.jar \
               --with-boot-jdk=/root/bootjdk11 \
               --with-build-jdk=/root/bootjdk11 \
               --with-cmake=no \
               --disable-warnings-as-errors \
               --disable-ddr

📝 Non-compressed references support: If you require a heap size greater than 57GB, enable a noncompressedrefs build with the --with-noncompressedrefs option during this step.

📝 OpenSSL support: If you want to build an OpenJDK that uses OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl={system|path_to_library}

where:

  • system uses the package installed OpenSSL library in the system. Use this option when you build on your AArch64 Linux system.
  • path_to_library uses an OpenSSL v1.1.x library that's already built. You can use ${OPENJ9_CC_DIR}/${OPENJ9_CC_PREFIX}/libc/usr as path_to_library when you are configuring in the Docker container.
  • Using --with-openssl=fetched will fail during the build in the Docker environment.

📝 DDR support: You can build DDR support only on AArch64 Linux. If you are building in a cross-compilation environment, you need the --disable-ddr option.

📝 CUDA support: You can enable CUDA support if you are building on NVIDIA Jetson Developer Kit series. Add --enable-cuda --with-cuda=/usr/local/cuda when you run configure. The path /usr/local/cuda may be different depending on the version of JetPack.

📝 You may need to add --disable-warnings-as-errors-openj9 depending on the toolchain version.

6. Build

🐧 Now you're ready to build OpenJDK with OpenJ9:

make all

⚠️ If you just type make, rather than make all your build will be incomplete, because the default make target is exploded-image. If you want to specify make instead of make all, you must add --default-make-target=images when you run the configure script.

A binary for the full developer kit (jdk) is built and stored in the following directory:

  • build/linux-aarch64-normal-server-release/images/jdk

Copy its contents to your AArch64 Linux device.

📝 If you want a binary for the runtime environment (jre), you must run make legacy-jre-image, which produces a jre build in the build/linux-aarch64-normal-server-release/images/jre directory.

6. Test

🐧 For a simple test, try running the java -version command. Change to your jdk directory on AArch64 Linux:

cd jdk

Run:

bin/java -version

Here is some sample output:

openjdk version "11.0.6-internal" 2020-01-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.6-internal+0-adhoc..openj9-openjdk-jdk11)

🐧 Congratulations! 🎉

Riscv64

🚀 The following instructions guide you through the process of building an OpenJDK V11 binary that contains Eclipse OpenJ9 for Riscv64 (RISC-V 64-bit) Linux.

💡 It is assumed that the Ubuntu version is at least 16.04 (gcc & g++ >= 7) is the default host system for the cross-compilation.

1. Prepare your system for cross-compilation

🚀 A number of software packages/dependencies must be installed on the host system to create a suitable cross-compiling environment:

  • The GNU cross-toolchain, which contains the source code of the C/C++ cross-compiler intended for RISC-V
  • bootJDK_OpenJ9, which is only used to generate a build JDK for the cross-compilation on the host system
  • QEMU, which is an open source emulator that converts the RISC-V instructions to the opcode on the host system
  • Fedora_Stage4, which contains the 1st Fedora bootstrap image on RISC-V and the corresponding BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) binary file
  • Fedora_Developer_Rawhide, which contains the latest Fedora disk images for development and the corresponding firmware image files
  • Freemarker V2.3.8

💡 There are two types of Fedora/RISC-V images for downloading, both of which work good when booted via QEMU. As the 1st Fedora/RISC-V image, the bootstrap process of Fedora_Stage4 is much faster than that of Fedora_Developer_Rawhide which comes with quite a lot new features (needs over 30 minutes in bootstrap). Thus, it is recommended to use Fedora_Stage4 if your preference is to verify/test the generated JDK on the emulator. Fedora_Developer_Rawhide is required for whoever working on both the emulator and the real hardware given that Fedora_Stage4 is obsolete (only used for archive on the Fedora/RISC-V website) in which case there is no more technical support on this image (please contact developers involved via #fedora-riscv/IRC for help if any issue).

The following sections cover the whole installation & building steps for all required software packages.

2. Install software packages for the cross-compilation

🚀 For the cross-compilation, the first thing is to install all required software packages on your system before building the JDK. When it comes to Fedora/RISC-V, you need to boot the OS image via QEMU to login the target system for installation.

[1] First of all, download & compile the latest version of QEMU source on your host system as follows:

wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-5.0.0.tar.xz
tar xvJf qemu-5.0.0.tar.xz
cd qemu-5.0.0
./configure
make
make install

Note: For the moment, the QEMU package targeted for RISC-V is not ready & unavailable even on Ubuntu 19.10, in which case there is no way to directly install the package for use. In addition, please avoid using qemu 4.2 as there are bugs of qemu 4.2 with floating points on Linux in which case SSH doesn't work properly.

[2] Download the Fedora OS image & the corresponding kernel related file for bootstrap

(1) Fedora_Stage4

Install e2fsck if it doesn't exist on your host system:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs/v1.43.1/e2fsprogs-1.43.1.tar.gz
tar xzf e2fsprogs-1.43.1.tar.gz
cd e2fsprogs-1.43.1
./configure # <== If this step fails, please check the config.log file.
                  It could be the missing "libc6-dev" package on your system.
make
make install

Download the Fedora OS image stage4-disk.img.xz and bbl (the boot loader) from https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/disk-images/ (4GB in size by default) and expand it appropriately for more space as follows: e.g.

unxz --keep stage4-disk.img.xz
truncate -s 15G stage4-disk.img
e2fsck -fp stage4-disk.img
resize2fs stage4-disk.img

(2) Fedora_Developer_Rawhide

Install virt-builder & configure the downloading environment

sudo apt install libguestfs-tools

mkdir -p ~/.config/virt-builder/repos.d/
cat <<EOF >~/.config/virt-builder/repos.d/fedora-riscv.conf
[fedora-riscv]
uri=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/repo/virt-builder-images/images/index
EOF

Download the Fedora developer image using virt-builder (please refer to the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Installing#Download_using_virt-builder for details) and expand it appropriately for more space (the minimal size is 10GB by default) as follows: e.g.

$ sudo virt-builder
     --hostname openj9riscv.fedoraproject.org  \
     --root-password password:riscv  \
     --arch riscv64  \
     --size 15G  \
     --format raw  \
     --output Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20200108.n.0-sda.raw fedora-rawhide-developer-20200108.n.0

Note: virt-builder only works good on the Ubuntu version >= 18.

Download the corresponding firmware image with wget: e.g.

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/repo/virt-builder-images/images/Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20200108.n.0-fw_payload-uboot-qemu-virt-smode.elf

[3] Boot the Fedora OS image via QEMU

💡 Given that the root account is rejected in login remotely via SSH, you need to create a user account on Fedora_Developer_Rawhide to establish another session to communicate with the target system as follows:

Create a user account on Fedora_Developer_Rawhide: e.g.

sudo adduser user_riscv
sudo passwd  riscv

Run the command via any terminal software (e.g. putty) with the non-root account as follows: e.g.

ssh -p 10000 user_riscv@localhost
user_riscv@localhost's password: riscv

[4] Install all X11/development related software packages required in building the JDK on Fedora/QEMU.

dnf install libX11-devel libXtst-devel libXt-devel libXrender-devel libXrandr-devel libXi-devel libXext-devel
dnf install cups-devel fontconfig-devel alsa-lib-devel freetype-devel  #freetype might be skipped if already installed
dnf install libdwarf-devel libstdc++-static #optional if the DDR is enabled for compilation on the target system
dnf install wget git autoconf automake  #mostly used in the compilation on the target system
dnf install openssl-devel  #optional if the OpenSSL support is required

💡 If there is anything else missing during the cross-compilation on your host system, please check the link at https://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/RPMS/riscv64 to see whether it is available for downloading. Some of them might go upstream to the main repository.

[5] Power off the Fedora OS as follows after all installations above are finished.

poweroff

💡 It is advised that you prepare two Fodora OS images with the same packages installed for development. One image is exclusive for QEMU while another is only used in the cross-compilation, in which case there is no need to frequently power on/off the OS image via QEMU.

[6] Mount the Fedora OS image to your host system for the cross-compilation.

(1) Fedora_Stage4

mkdir <your_fedora_mount_directory>
sudo mount -o loop  stage4-disk.img  <your_fedora_mount_directory>

3. Compile/Install the cross-toolchain for RISC-V

🚀 The GNU cross-toolchain project at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain contains everything required during compilation except the OS specific headers/libraries which are already installed previously on the Fedora OS image.

[1] Run the following command to get the source of the cross-toolchain:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain.git

[2] When the process is complete, install all required software packages on your host system:

$ sudo apt-get install \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    autotools-dev \
    curl \
    libmpc-dev \
    libmpfr-dev \
    libgmp-dev \
    gawk \
    build-essential \
    bison \
    flex \
    texinfo \
    gperf \
    libtool \
    patchutils \
    bc \
    zlib1g-dev \
    libexpat-dev

[3] Set up the installation path and build the cross-toolchain on your system:

cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv_toolchain_linux  #the path to install the cross-toolchain
make linux

💡 Please refer to the latest instructions at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain for details if you are working on other host systems or if any issue is detected when compiling the cross-toolchain.

[4] Run the RISC-V specific gcc command to ensure the cross-compiler works good as expected:

$ riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc --version

Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Note: In addition to the cross-toolchain compiled from the source, the cross-toolchain package targeted for RISC-V is also available for installation (please check to see whether it is ready on your Ubuntu system) e.g.

$ sudo apt-cache  search   riscv

💡 The cross-built JDK compiled by the installed cross-compiler (with GLIBC >= 2.28) doesn't work on Fedora_stage4 (only support GLIBC_2.27).

4. Get the source for building the JDK

🚀 You need to clone the Extensions for OpenJDK for OpenJ9 project, which is a git mirror of OpenJDK without the HotSpot JVM, but with an openj9 branch that contains a few necessary patches. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11.git

Cloning this repository can take a while because OpenJDK is a large project! When the process is complete, change directory into the cloned repository:

cd openj9-openjdk-jdk11

Now fetch additional sources from the Eclipse OpenJ9 project and its clone of Eclipse OMR:

bash get_source.sh

5. Generate the build JDK for the cross-compilation

🚀 When you have all the source files on the host system, run the following configure command to set up the compilation environment as follows:

export JAVA_HOME=/<path_to_build_JDK>  # the build JDK here is downloaded from https://api.vm.net/v3/binary/latest/11/ga/linux/x64/jdk/openj9/normal/adoptopenjdk
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

bash configure --disable-warnings-as-errors --with-freemarker-jar=/<path_to>/freemarker.jar

Generate the build-JDK intended for later cross-compilation:

make all

⚠️ If you just type make, rather than make all your build will be incomplete, because the default make target is exploded-image. If you want to specify make instead of make all, you must add --default-make-target=images when you run the configure script.

💡 Please move the generated build-JDK at build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images to an appropriate directory as the build directory will be removed for cross-compilation in the following step.

6. Configure the cross-compiling environment

🚀 Run the following configure command to set up the cross-compilation environment in the same openj9-openjdk-jdk11 directory where the build-JDK is created at step 5 after removing the existing build directory:

export RISCV64=/<path_to_gnu_cross_toolchain>  #e.g. /opt/riscv_toolchain_linux
export PATH="$RISCV64/bin:$PATH"

bash configure --disable-warnings-as-errors \ 
               --disable-ddr \
               --with-boot-jdk=/<path_to_build_JDK_for_cross_compilation> \   #the `build-JDK` created at step 5
               --with-build-jdk=/<path_to_build_JDK_for_cross_compilation> \  #the `build-JDK` created at step 5
               --openjdk-target=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu \                   #the prefix for the compiled cross-toolchain
               --with-sysroot=/<path_to_your_fedora_mount_directory> \
               --with-freemarker-jar=/<path_to>/freemarker.jar

💡 For installed cross-toolchain package, run the following configure command to set up the cross-compilation environment:

export RISCV_TOOLCHAIN_TYPE=install  #specify the install type to use the installed cross-toolchain for the cross-compilation

bash configure --disable-warnings-as-errors \ 
               --disable-ddr \
               --with-boot-jdk=/<path_to_build_JDK_for_cross_compilation> \   #the `build-JDK` created at step 5
               --with-build-jdk=/<path_to_build_JDK_for_cross_compilation> \  #the `build-JDK` created at step 5
               --openjdk-target=riscv64-linux-gnu \                           #the prefix for the installed cross-toolchain
               --with-sysroot=/<path_to_your_fedora_mount_directory> \
               --with-freemarker-jar=/<path_to>/freemarker.jar

📝 If you want to build an OpenJDK that uses OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl=<path_to_library> where:

  • path_to_library uses an OpenSSL v1 library installed on the mounted Fedora OS image e.g.
--with-openssl=/<path_to_your_fedora_mount_directory>/usr

You can check the version of OpenSSL on your target system as follows: e.g.

<your_fedora_mount_directory>/usr/bin# file openssl
openssl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, version 1 (SYSV), 
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1, 
for GNU/Linux 4.15.0, BuildID[sha1]=715cfde5a3bdc6ff31b6cc2e449f06df1b3c465a, not stripped

7. Cross-build the JDK

🚀 Now you're ready to cross-build OpenJDK with OpenJ9:

make all

⚠️ If you just type make, rather than make all your build will be incomplete, because the default make target is exploded-image. If you want to specify make instead of make all, you must add --default-make-target=images when you run the configure script.

A binary for the full developer kit (JDK without DDR support) is built and stored in the following directory:

  • build/linux-riscv64-normal-server-release/images/jdk

8. Test the JDK on Fedora/QEMU

[1] Unmount the Fedora OS image after the cross-compilation is complete.

sudo umount /<path_to_your_fedora_mount_directory>

[2] Boot Fedora via QEMU with the command qemu-system-riscv64 at step 2:

stage4 login: root
Password: riscv
Last login: Fri Oct  4 21:21:28 from 10.0.2.2

💡 There is no need to unmount & boot up this Fedora image if your have another one already booted via QEMU.

[3] Upload the zipped JDK onto Fedora via the scp command as follows:

[your_user_name@riscv_qemu new_dir]# scp <user>@<the_IP_address_on_your_host_system>:/<path_to>/jdk.zip .
[your_user_name@riscv_qemu new_dir]# unzip -qq jdk.zip

[4] Change to your jdk directory on Fedora and try running the java -version command for a simple test.

[your_user_name@riscv_qemu new_dir]# cd /home/<user_name>/new_dir/jdk
[your_user_name@riscv_qemu jdk]#./bin/java -version

Here is some sample output:

$ ./bin/java -version
openjdk version "11.0.5-internal" 2019-11-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.5-internal+0-adhoc.root.openj9-openjdk-jdk11)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM (build master-41621b6b6, JRE 11 Linux riscv64-64-Bit Compressed References 20191119_000000 (JIT disabled, AOT disabled)
OpenJ9   - 41621b6b6
OMR      - 92c14ce2
JCL      - e5937725d3 based on jdk-11.0.5+10)

💡 The JIT compiler for Riscv64 is not supported at the time of writing, in which case the JDK ends up with the same output by default, whether or not the -Xint option is specified on the command line.

9. Build the JDK on Fedora (Optionally if you want to enable the DDR support in the jdk)

🚀 The following building steps are only used with the DDR support enabled in compilation on Fedora.

[1] Follow the steps at 4 to get all source required for building the JDK. e.g.

[root@fedora_riscv <build_jdk_dir>] git clone https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11.git
[root@fedora_riscv <build_jdk_dir>] cd openj9-openjdk-jdk11
[root@fedora_riscv <build_jdk_dir>] bash get_source.sh

[2] Run the following configure script to set up the building environment on Fedora.

export JAVA_HOME=/<path_to>/<the_cross_built_jdk>
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

💡 Please remove /usr/lib64/ccache from the PATH environment variable as /usr/lib64/ccache/gcc is not supported in the compilation of OpenJDK.

The boot JDK set up in JAVA_HOME is the cross-built jdk uploaded to Fedora after cross-compiled on your host system.

bash configure --disable-warnings-as-errors --with-freemarker-jar=/<path_to>/freemarker.jar

📝 If you want to build an OpenJDK that uses OpenSSL, you must specify --with-openssl=system wheresystem uses the OpenSSL library already installed on Fedora.

💡 Given that there is no JIT support for now, you might need to accelerate the compilation for parallel execution of building jobs by specifying --with-jobs=<number_of_jobs>, e.g. --with-jobs=32.

10. Test the JDK on the hardware (Optionally if hardware is available for test)

🚀 (this section is based on verification result from HiFive U540 dev board / to be updated)

📝 OpenSSL support: If you built an OpenJDK with OpenJ9 that includes OpenSSL v1.1.x support, the following acknowledgements apply in accordance with the license terms:

  • This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/).
  • This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).
