RFR: JDK-8177135: OpenJDK 9 freetype needs msvcr100.dll (original) (raw)

Hello,

The build of freetype used internally at Oracle when building OpenJDK builds (for the reference implementation) is very old. It was also built using Visual Studio 2010, which makes it require msvcr100.dll, while the rest of OpenJDK is built with Visual Studio 2013 and subsequently require msvcr120.dll.

I have built new freetype binaries, using Visual Studio 2013, from the latest available freetype source, 2.7.1. We have verified that the OpenJDK builds using these binaries are behaving equally to those with the old binary, except for not requiring msvcr100.dll. This patch changes the jib-profiles configuration for JDK 9 to use the new freetype binaries.
