Power PC Build

[Michael Franz]

Eric,

This is what I did the last time I attempted to build IcedTea on OS X
(Intel).

I use MacPorts for the dependencies.  At one time I had a Portfile for this,
but it got lost in the computer shuffle.

Edit configure.ac to change ALSA missing to be a warning instead of an error
Installed the following ports:
findtuils - use the prefix variant  +with_default_names
coreutils - use the prefix variant +with_default_names
gsed - use the prefix variant +with_default_names
nawk -- not needed if openjdk/jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-utils.gmk is
patched
eclipse-ecj32
jpeg
xercesj
xalanj
freetype

export LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib'
maybe this too: export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig'

I used OpenJDK to bootstrap Icedtea6 - previously  I used Apple's JDK 6.

./configure --enable-zero
--with-ecj-jar=/opt/local/share/java/eclipse-ecj.jar
--with-libgcj-jar=/Volumes/Leopard/developer/openjdk-bsd/bin/openjdk7-darwin-i386-20080820/jre/lib/rt.jar
--with-xalan2-jar=/opt/local/share/java/xalan.jar
--with-xalan2-serializer-jar=/opt/local/share/java/serializer.jar
--with-xerces2-jar=/opt/local/share/java/xercesImpl.jar --without-rhino
--disable-liveconnect
--with-gcj-home=/Users/mfranz/developer/openjdk-bsd/bin/openjdk7-darwin-i386-20080820/

then make

I was taking things from the OpenJDK 7 BSD port to get around missing make
files, but mixing OpenJDK 6 and OpenJDK 7 is probably not a good idea.
