Configure: error: Cannot locate a valid Visual Studio installation when build jdk

I'm trying to build openjdk-17 on Windows 11 (Home Version).

bash configure --with-boot-jdk='/mnt/c/program files/java/jdk-16' --with-toolchain-version=2019 --enable-debug

Here is a error when I run it :

Configure: error: Cannot locate a valid Visual Studio installation

I have set short name for C:\Program Files (x86) and installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 update 16.11.27

Why it happened?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I solved this problem, Thanks to Jorn Vernee.

    My problem is missing --with-tools-dir, it should be

    [Visual studio install dir]\VC\Auxiliary\Build

    Replace the [Visual studio install dir] with real install directory.

    But there still a issue when using Chinese Windows version, cl.exe will localization itself's output message. This make the generated-configure.sh report a Target CPU mismatch. error when double-check target cpu type.

    Here is a issue about cl.exe 's localization.

    My solution is delete the double-check code in generated-configure.sh because I'm sure the cpu type is match. Please let me know if somebody know's there is a better solution.
