<p>Internally in the build system, all paths are represented as Unix-style paths, e.g. <code>/cygdrive/c/git/jdk/Makefile</code> rather than <code>C:\git\jdk\Makefile</code>. This rule also applies to input to the build system, e.g. in arguments to <code>configure</code>. So, use <code>--with-msvcr-dll=/cygdrive/c/msvcr100.dll</code> rather than <code>--with-msvcr-dll=c:\msvcr100.dll</code>. For details on this conversion, see the section on <a href="#fixpath">Fixpath</a>.</p>
<h4 id="cygwin">Cygwin</h4>
<p>A functioning <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> environment is required for building the JDK on Windows. If you have a 64-bit OS, we strongly recommend using the 64-bit version of Cygwin.</p>
