Can't build Java 7 on my Mac

Mon Dec 2 00:52:01 PST 2013

Hello,

Even if you get to have make in your PATH,
you may still be unable to build Java 7 on Mac OS X 10.5.x.

A while ago, I attempted to build it on my 10.6, using OpenJDK Build
Factory <https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory>,
but encountered a number of incompatibilities
<https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/issues/3> between 10.7 and 10.7
API.

While there's a patch <https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/pull/15>
which re-enables building Java 7 on 10.6, it produces a build which may
behave incorrectly on 10.7+ because certain code paths are simply turned
off. I suspect you'll encounter further problems while building on 10.5,
even with OpenJDK Build Factory.

Regards,
Andrew.
