hi
for some debugging puposes i need a debug build of new JDK so i can debug with .pdb files.

i searched a lot and the only thing i could find was v1.8 which is very old.
i also tried compiling the jdk but i only god errors.

is there any link to download a debug built JDK or a step by step guide on how to compile the JKD?

What I have tried:

gooogling for prebuilt JDK
installed cygwin and mingw
fiddled with configure files

Are you planning on debugging the JDK itself? That's the only reason you would need the .pdb files for it.

yes exactly. I want to see how some parts of JNI works.

You probably need a special licence from Oracle.

Then you're going to have to build your own copy.

You're going to have to read ALL OF THIS[^].

i got the latest source and tried to compile it.
i am getting an error: VC/bin cannot be found; the problem is VS2022 doesn't have that folder!!

I have no idea. I've never built the thing.
