Building openjdk 8 on Mac OS X

[Denis Fokin]

Hi guys,

good news. I am able to build open jdk8 on Yosemite (thanks to Anton Tarasov for his script to build on 10.9)

Steps:

1.  Download and save in some secure place Xcode4.6
2.  Make a link form Xcode.4 lipo to /usr/bin/lipo
3.  Set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET enviroment variable to 10.8
4.  Execute  configure like this

sh configure --with-freetype=/Volumes/HD-PATU3/tools/freetype-2.4.0/  --with-extra-cflags="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F/Applications/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" --with-extra-cxxflags="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F/Applications/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" --with-boot-jdk=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/Home/

Thank you,
   Denis.
