Refer to section 1.6 of "In-depth Understanding of Java Virtual Machine Third Edition" and https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk12u/blob/master/doc/building.md , the steps are as follows:
Get the source code of openjdk12. The address given in the book is too slow. I found a mirror on github , clicked to download, obtained the zip archive, and unzipped it.
sudo yum install java-11-openjdk*
chmod +x configure
sudo ./configure --enable-debug --with-jvm-variants=server
Note that this step may fail due to lack of dependencies. Just install it according to the prompts. After I have performed the following installations, this step succeeded:
sudo yum install autoconf
sudo yum install libXtst-devel libXt-devel libXrender-devel libXrandr-devel libXi-devel
sudo yum install cups-devel
sudo yum install alsa-lib-devel
Success tips I got:
