Building openjdk 8 on Mac OS X

[David Chase]

For reference, with version numbers, here is what worked for me this morning,
for both release and fastdebug builds (including closed bits):

I'm on Mavericks (10.9.5),
using Xcode 4.6.3, (sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer)
MacPorts lipo (it works, put it earlier on your path because hotspot build references "lipo" with no fancy variables)

PATH=/opt/local/bin:/Users/dr2chase/work/graal/mxtool:/Users/dr2chase/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/CrossPack-AVR/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin

Note that I pick up a lot of stuff from MacPorts, and that has been known to solve some problems in the past even though it is not officially recommended:

spec.gmk:PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/local
spec.gmk:AR:= /opt/local/bin/ar
spec.gmk:NM:=/opt/local/bin/nm
spec.gmk:GNM:=/opt/local/bin/nm
spec.gmk:STRIP:=/opt/local/bin/strip
spec.gmk:LIPO:=/opt/local/bin/lipo
spec.gmk:POST_STRIP_CMD:=/opt/local/bin/strip -S
spec.gmk:NAWK:=/opt/local/bin/gawk
spec.gmk:SED:=/opt/local/bin/gsed
spec.gmk:OTOOL:=/opt/local/bin/otool
spec.gmk:READELF:=/opt/local/bin/greadelf
spec.gmk:FILE:=/opt/local/bin/file
spec.gmk:HG:=/opt/local/bin/hg
spec.sh:SED="/opt/local/bin/gsed"
spec.sh:POST_STRIP_CMD="/opt/local/bin/strip -S"

and did this change to SALIBS:

SALIBS = -isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.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

 ( or perhaps better:
SALIBS = -isysroot `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -g -framework Foundation -F/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks -framework JavaNativeFoundation -framework Security -framework CoreFoundation
) 

bash configure --with-extra-cflags="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F/Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" --with-extra-cxxflags="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F/Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks"

( or perhaps better:
bash configure --with-extra-cflags="-isysroot `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F`xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" --with-extra-cxxflags="-isysroot `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F`xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks"
)

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 make MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 images CONF=fastdebug

and it built and it worked, at least once.

I have not tested this on 10.8 or 10.10 (yet).
