What are you trying to achieve?

   I want to build a debug version of openjdk ( I am new to open source and I want to contrib to open source)

   I am trying to build openjdk8; from source
    openjdk-8_8u91-b14-0ubuntu4.debian.tar.xz

What was the command that you gave to receive this error message?

   $./configure all went fine
   $ make all ; here I got error resolving zlib

also tried

   $ ./configure --enable-debug
   $ make all ; same issue

please share me instruction or read mi or step to build from the source

Thanks

Are you following some "how to ..." instruction? If yes, which one?
   I did not find any instruction notes in the source.

Thanks.

Ubuntu provides debug symbols in separate packages, openjdk-8-jdk-dbgsym, openjdk-8-jdk-headless-dbgsym, openjdk-8-jre-dbgsym etc.
Can't you just install these additional packages?

Thanks for the quick reply,

I am using those ubuntu debug images,
If I want to change any lines in the source
and to understand the behavior, how to build from the source?

Thanks

As already written on https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/294936 on Ubuntu the package building process uses two files: the original source tarball, and Ubuntu/Debian additions (and a third file with references to these two).

I recommend that you start building the packages as they are currently existing with the commands

sudo apt-get install build-essentials
sudo apt-get build-dep openjdk-8
sudo apt-get source --compile openjdk-8

This should create new copies of the .deb files for openjdk-8 on your system.
Afterwards you can modify the source or change flags and create a new version with your modification using the dpkg-buildpackage command (with appropriate options and parameters)

Oops, one error in my previous message,
apt-get source --compile openjdk-8
does not need sudo in front.
