gcc

The minimum accepted version of gcc is 4.8. Older versions will generate a warning by configure and are unlikely to work.

The JDK is currently known to be able to compile with at least version 7.4 of gcc.

    Certain third-party libraries used by the JDK (libjpeg, giflib, libpng, lcms and zlib) are included in the JDK repository. The default behavior of the JDK build is to use the included ("bundled") versions of libjpeg, giflib, libpng and lcms. For zlib, the system lib (if present) is used except on Windows and AIX. However the bundled libraries may be replaced by an external version. To do so, specify system as the <source> option in these arguments. (The default is bundled).
