Building JDK8 on OS X 10.8.4

[Marko Asplund]

hi,

I'm having trouble building the latest JDK8 version using instructions
found in wiki
(https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/MacOSXPort/Main).

After cloning the repositories when I try to start the build I get the
following error:

bash-3.2$ CPATH="/usr/X11/include" LANG=C make ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true
ALT_BOOTDIR=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7+`
No configurations found for /Users/aspluma/projects/openjdk/jdk8/! Please
run configure to create a configuration.
NewMakefile.gmk:57: *** Cannot continue.  Stop.

Running configure fixes this, but it's not currently mentioned on the wiki
page.

After that, the build still fails at a later phase:

cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors

There was discussion about this issue on the OpenJDK Hotspot mailing list,
but apparently the fix has not yet been applied to the code base?

Also, get_source.sh runs pretty slowly on my laptop (2 cores, 8 GB memory)
taking about 55 minutes to complete.
Is this normal? Any way to speed it up?
