Problems building OpenJDK 8 for MacOSX

[David Clunie]

Hi all

I wanted to build the OpenJDK for MacOSX.

I was trying to follow the instructions at:

   https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/MacOSXPort/Main

but having fetched the code, the build step fails.

The make complains there is no configuration ("No configurations
found for ...").

By comparison, I fetched jdk7u-dev, and a "make" of that works
just fine, with no need for a configure step.

I tried "bash ./configure", but it fails with problems related
to the X11 stuff.

Any advice would be appreciated, since I could spend a while on this
and it is presumably something everyone else has already solved.

I have OS 10.8.3 and XQuartz 2.7.4 and Xcode 4.6.2 installed.
