OpenJ9 requires MinGW-W64 8 for JDK11 and up with MSVS 2017. v8.x is not available yet for cygwin.
The OpenJ9 windows machines have installed v6.4 and the latest package available for cygwin is v7.3

$ cygcheck -c mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++
Cygwin Package Information
Package                Version        Status
mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ 6.4.0-2        OK

MinGW is installed from binary. There is no silent option for the windows installer. The installer also is configurable - choose installation directory (opting to install it in c:/mingw-w64 not in c:/Program File to avoid spaces on the path), architecture and thread.

Can you break out 7-Zip into a separate section from MingGW (i.e. a separate role) and add a comment to the name field saying "Added for extracting MinGW". Also add something to the name field for MinGW saying it's needed for OpenJ9 (This is something I want to start doing to document why we have things in the playbook since it's getting rather vague :-) )

@sxa555 - I have broken it down in two playbooks as required.
Please note that I haven't yet test it (no ansible tower access yet), hence the "WIP" prefix.

Just saw this on build-softlayer-win2012r2-x64-2 when building jdk10u-openj9 which failed the build:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++: Command not found

Is this related or a red herring? I note that this is a reference to mingw32 so referencing @ali-ince as well

This PR is for VS 2017. The <mingw-w64_install_dir>/bin directory should be added to the PATH. This is done in the Jenkins files for OpenJ9 build pipelines.

For older toolchain versions - VS2010, VS2013 - the mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ package available with cygwing works fine.
The openjdk10_openj9_build_x86-64_windows uses VS2013: --with-toolchain-version=2013

Running ./configure with arguments ' --with-version-pre=adoptopenjdk --with-version-string=10.0.2+13  --with-boot-jdk=/cygdrive/c/openjdk/jdk9 --with-freetype-src=/cygdrive/c/openjdk/freetype-2.5.3 --with-toolchain-version=2013 --with-freemarker-jar=/cygdrive/c/openjdk/freemarker.jar --disable-ccache --with-milestone=fcs'

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ should have been installed with cygwin and be available in /usr/bin (Linux path) or C:\cygwin64\bin (Windows path) . More details about OpenJ9 extensions for OpenJDK10 build on Windows could be found here.

@vsebe Thanks! That's a great write up - I'll split it into a different issue
