jenkins test sanity aix,alinux64,osx,win,win32 jdk8 depends eclipse-openj9/openj9#16182

Build dependency doesn't seem to have had the desired affect on configure options; trying macOS & Windows in eclipse-openj9/openj9#16182.

We'll need to modify https://github.com/ibmruntimes/temurin-build/ concurrently as well or the Semeru builds will break.

Like jdk11+, we can use --skip-freetype, in build-farm/platform-specific-configurations/windows.sh and mac.sh, or set it as default for all platforms.

Updated jdk/THIRD_PARTY_README.

See these pull requests:

• Build openj9 with the version of freetype bundled with jdk8 adoptium/temurin-build#3133
• Build openj9 with the version of freetype bundled with jdk8 temurin-build#28

Ok. Now we need to wait for the 0.35 build to be finalized so these changes don't break those builds.

@keithc-ca do you intend to upstream this to mainstream OpenJDK8 development? It's something the updates project have been hoping to do for some time.

It would seem a reasonable course of action; I'll see if I can find some help to make that happen.

Sounds good, more than happy to help @keithc-ca

Rebased and updated to reflect licence changes in ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk11@1f8e807.

What version of Freetype is this src ?

What version of Freetype is this src ?

2.12.1 Same as used by jdk11, 17, 19+
See the update to THIRD_PARTY_README

@gdams Do you have a link to updates maillist discussions on this? thanks

@andrew-m-leonard see the discussion in openjdk/jdk8u-dev#3 (comment)

It would definitely be good to see this upstream and should allow us to remove the need to build FreeType within the GitHub Actions for Windows.

I think this would primarily be a backport of JDK-8193017, though we can reference further bugs to note that we also have updates to later versions. A PR with the subject "Backport 58ff4ee8c4ec399528338b59eadea996110366a0" against openjdk/jdk8u-dev should start the ball rolling; see the SKARA backport process for details.

As nobody has picked this up yet I'll have a go at the backport process to jdk8u-dev
