Building openjdk 8 on Mac OS X

[Wang Weijun]

Advices from Denis and Na (were in this thread, quoted at the end), and

1. MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is also necessary for make

2. I need an extra configure argument

   --with-tools-dir=/Applications/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin

3. When applying Na's patch, make sure to use Xcode4.app if that's what your path is.

With these, I am able to build the latest jdk8u-dev forest.

----------Advice from Denis--------------

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.

---------------Advice from Na-----------------

You need to patch /hotspot/make/bsd/makefiles/saproc.make to make it use
10.8sdk instead of system library in Yosemite.

- SALIBS = -g -framework Foundation
-F/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks 
-framework JavaNativeFoundation -framework Security -framework CoreFoundation

+ SALIBS = -isysroot
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk
-g -framework Foundation
-F/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks -framework
JavaNativeFoundation -framework Security -framework CoreFoundation
