```
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/graal/graal-jvmci-8
cd graal-jvmci-8
mx --java-home /path/to/jdk8u111 build
export JAVA_HOME=$(mx --java-home /path/to/jdk8u111 jdkhome)
mx --java-home /path/to/jdk8 build
export JAVA_HOME=$(mx --java-home /path/to/jdk8 jdkhome)
```

You need to use exactly version `8u111` as the bootstrap JDK in the `mx --java-home ... build` command.
You need to use the same JDK the [OTN](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oracle-labs/program-languages/downloads/index.html) downloads are based on as the argument to `--java-home` in the above commands.
The build step above should work on all [supported JDK 8 build platforms](https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms).
It should also work on other platforms (such as Oracle Linux, CentOS and Fedora as described [here](http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/graal-dev/2015-December/004050.html)).
If you run into build problems, send a message to the [Graal mailing list](http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/graal-dev).
