I'm using this to configure.

export LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib';
./configure --enable-zero=yes --with-project=bsd
--with-gcj-home=/Library/Java/Home
--with-ecj-jar=/opt/local/share/java/eclipse-ecj.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
--with-rhino=/Users/eric/java-libs/js-engine.jar --disable-liveconnect
--with-libgcj-jar=/Library/Java/Home/jre/lib/rt.jar --disable-alsa

So far, I have a couple of patching problems that I ignored.

Then I get a error because the system has a space in it.

jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:478: "WARNING: Value of OUTPUTDIR contains a
space: './build/bsd-Power Macintosh', check or set ALT_OUTPUTDIR"
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:498: "WARNING: Value of ABS_OUTPUTDIR
contains a space: '/Users/eric/java/icedtea/openjdk-ecj/build/bsd-Power
Macintosh', check or set ALT_ABS_OUTPUTDIR"
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:505: *** "ERROR: Trouble with the absolute
path for OUTPUTDIR 'Check_ALT_OUTPUTDIR'".  Stop.
make: *** [stamps/icedtea-ecj.stamp] Error 2

So now I use this as the make command.

make ALT_OUTPUTDIR=`pwd`/build/bsd-PowerMacintosh
ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/opt/local/include
FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/opt/local/include
ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/opt/local/lib

It finds everthing in the configure but when it gets to the build it can't
find cups and freetype - there may be an option in configure but haven't
looked at that yet.
...
checking cups/cups.h usability... yes
checking cups/cups.h presence... yes
checking for cups/cups.h... yes
checking cups/ppd.h usability... yes
checking cups/ppd.h presence... yes
checking for cups/ppd.h... yes
...
checking for FREETYPE2... yes


Finally I get to the ant build and get this error and haven't had a chance
to look at this yet either.

build-bootstrap-javac:
    [javac] Compiling 261 source files to

    [javac]                ^

Something isn't built obviously. Everybody on the lists has patient and
helpful so I'm sure I'll continue to make progress on the build. I am
interested in the Makefile changes submitted for the bsd port to see if they
will help. Don't know how to try them yet either. New to Mercurial.

I'm glad you are working on the Intel version as the platform should be
virtually identical except for the processor type. compiler flags etc. I
need to use the zero assembly but I guess you wouldn't.

Thanks for asking,

Eric
