Problems building OpenJDK 8 for MacOSX

[David Clunie]

Hi Max

If I run "bash ./configure" it complains about not finding the
X11 headers in the configure step; adding "--with-x" as is
suggested in README-build.html does not help.

Trying

   bash ./configure CPATH="/usr/X11/include"

also fails, complaining about not finding the XRender extensions,
so I found that I had to:

   bash ./configure CPATH="/opt/X11/include"

instead, to get past the configure step.

However, when I did that, when I ran "make" it reported:

"Building OpenJDK for target 'default' in configuration 
'macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release'"

and ran until it got to a failure building Solaris X11 stuff,
which seemed strange since we are not targeting Solaris, and
we do have the XRender extensions including XTest.h:

/Users/dclunie/Distributions/java/OpenJDK/jdk8/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/java2d/x11/X11SurfaceData.c:501: 
warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
/Users/dclunie/Distributions/java/OpenJDK/jdk8/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/xawt/XToolkit.c:47:34: 
warning: X11/extensions/XTest.h: No such file or directory
...
/Users/dclunie/Distributions/java/OpenJDK/jdk8/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/xawt/XToolkit.c:1031: 
error: ‘XDeviceInfo’ undeclared (first use in this function)

and at that point I am stumped.

The XRender header extensions are present on the system, e.g.,

   % find /opt/X11 -name XTest.h
   /opt/X11/include/X11/extensions/XTest.h

but then I am not sure that these are even required for the Mac?

I have tried feeding various combinations of "--with-x=/opt/X11" and
CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/X11/include" and even OPENWIN_HOME="/opt/X11" based
on what I see in the generated Makefile.

But I gave up after I realized that it probably shouldn't be trying to
compile the jdk/src/solaris/native sub-tree in the first place, just
the share and the macosx trees, right? And I couldn't figure out where
in the make or configure it decides to do this or not.

PS. It would be nice if the page of instructions for building the MacOSX
port could be updated to mention the need for the configure step, and
what arguments to give it, and the make step.
