Hi,

I'm trying to follow Landon's instructions at: http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/java/SoyLatte_Meets_OpenJDK.20080819.html for building OpenJDK 7 on a Mac.

I'm successfully able to build it using SoyLatte, but when I try to rerun the build after having successfully installed the new j2sdk, ie self-hosting via:

CatBasket:bsd-port boxcat$ make ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/local/openjdk17-2008-11-06 ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH=/Users/boxcat/jdk-7-icedtea-plugs ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/X11R6/include ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/include ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant NO_DOCS=true HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=1 ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/local/openjdk17-2008-11-06

Then I get the following output:

[.. settings, etc]

I can't even seem to find any compiler output.

Can anyone see what's causing this problem? Please point me at a "How to Ask For Help" doc if one exists, or tell me what other information would be useful in diagnosing the problem.

Thanks,

Ben
