Here are quick per-platform instructions for those who can't wait to get started. Please refer to OpenJDK build docs for in-depth coverage of all the details.
TIP: To get a preliminary report of what's missing, run
./configureand check its output. It would usually have a meaningful advice on how to solve the problem.
Download an image from Docker Hub related to your architecture:
$ docker pull jetbrains/runtime:oraclelinux8_aarch64
or
$ docker pull jetbrains/runtime:oraclelinux8_x64
Create and run a new container from the downloaded image
$ docker run -v $JetBrainsRuntime:/JetBrainsRuntime -it jetbrains/runtime:oraclelinux8_[arch]
where $JetBrainsRuntime is a full path to the directory where the repository was cloned to.
Run these commands in the container:
# cd /JetBrainsRuntime
# git checkout jbr17
# sh ./configure
# make images CONF=linux-x86_64-normal-server-release
Install the necessary tools, libraries, and headers with:
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf make build-essential libx11-dev libxext-dev libxrender-dev libxtst-dev \
libxt-dev libxrandr-dev libcups2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libasound2-dev libspeechd-dev \
java-16-amazon-corretto-jdk
Then run the following:
$ cd JetBrainsRuntime
$ git checkout jbr17
$ sh ./configure
$ make images
This will build the release configuration under ./build/linux-x86_64-server-release/.
- Cygwin x64.
Required packages:
autoconf,binutils,cpio,diffutils,file,gawk,gcc-core,make,m4,unzip,zip.
Install those together with Cygwin. - Visual Studio compiler toolset. Install with the desktop development kit, which includes Windows SDK and compilers. Visual Studio 2019 is supported by default.
- Java 16 (for instance, from AdoptOpenJDK). If you have problems while configuring, read Java tips on Cygwin.
From the command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
"c:\Program_Files\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe" /bin/bash -l
The first command sets up environment variables, the second starts a Cygwin shell with the proper environment.
In the Cygwin shell:
$ cd JetBrainsRuntime
$ git checkout jbr17
$ bash configure --with-toolchain-version=2019
$ make images
This will build the release configuration under ./build/windows-x86_64-server-release/.
If you want to add support of a11y announcing via NVDA screen reader, you will need to bundle the NVDA Controller Client library. You can do it with the following steps:
- Download the NVDA Controller Client library. You can find the link in its official README here
- Pass the path to the unpacked package to
configurevia an additional flag--with-nvdacontrollerclient=<path>. The build system will search the required library files under<path>/<target-arch>.
JBR is built with built-in support of JAWS screen reader.
If you want to disable it, run configure with the additional flag --disable-jaws-client.
Install the following:
- Xcode command line developer tools and
autoconfvia Homebrew. - Java 16 (for instance, from AdoptOpenJDK).
From the command line:
$ cd JetBrainsRuntime
$ git checkout jbr17
$ sh ./configure
$ make images
This will build the release configuration under ./build/macosx-x86_64-server-release/.
You can use CLion to develop native parts of the JetBrains Runtime and IntelliJ IDEA for the parts written in Java. Both require projects to be created.
Run
$ make compile-commands
in the git root and open the resulting build/.../compile_commands.json file as a project.
Then use Tools | Compilation Database | Change Project Root to point to git root of this repository.
See also this detailed step-by-step tutorial for all platforms: How to develop OpenJDK with CLion.
Run
$ sh ./bin/idea.sh
in the git root to generate project files (add --help for options). If you have multiple
configurations (for example, release and fastdebug), supply the --conf <conf_name> argument.
Then open the git root directory as a project in IDEA.
