Hi,

Does anybody know if I REALLY need ALL the following to compile JDK source
codes?
========================
Microsoft Visual C++ version 5.0 for compiling C code. Though this software
is required for compiling C code, the build is done using Microsoft nmake
rather than with the Microsoft Visual C++ IDE.
Microsoft Assembler version 6.11.
Microsoft VisualStudio 97 Service Pack 3 for Java2D functionality.
MKS Toolkit version 5.2 (http://www.mks.com) for Unix emulation on the
Windows NT platform.
========================

An interesting question. If, by JDK, you mean the Sun Java Developers Kit then
none of the software you mentioned is required.

All you need is the Sun JDK. javac is the java compiler and java is the
interpreter.

Since you are posting to the AW SDK newsgroup I should probably assume that you
are trying to work with the JAVA wrappers that have been developed. It is my
understanding that since the latest release that no C++ code that needs to be
recompiled to get it to work.

But then I could be totally misunderstanding you question.
