Power PC Build

[Eric Richardson]

Hi,

I was looking into OpenJDK and saw the bsd-port and zero assembly project
and thought It might be possible build jdk6 on PowerPC.  After looking at
the bsd-port list I started working on setting up my environment. I have a
G5 based Mac. Here is what I have done so far.

Installed MacOSX 10.5
Installed XCode 3.1.2
Installed Fink 0.9.0
Installed Mercurial
Checked out icetea6 (hg clone http://...)
./autogen.sh
./configure

gawk not found
apt-get install gawk

checking for a GCJ JDK home directory...
configure: error: "A GCJ JDK home directory could not be found."

./configure --with-gcj-home=/Library/Java/Home --enable-zero=yes

checking for eclipse-ecj.jar... no
configure: error: "A ECJ jar was not found."

Next error waiting if I fix the above.
checking xalan2 jar... no
configure: error: "A xalan2 jar was not found."

Before I go further, I thought I'd ask if this is going to work at all using
the JDK 5 that comes with MacOSX?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks,
Eric
