Problems building OpenJDK 8 for MacOSX

[Pranav Bhat]

David,

Please see the system setup section on the openJDK 8 read me file - http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#setup

I am not aware of this specific X11 error but have setup several macs using the information as-is mentioned in the above page and it has always worked (for me!)

Hope this helps.

my two cents,
- Pranav

P.S: Also, please note that this page is a more up to date page for openJDK 8 builds (including information for configure and make) as compared to the MacOSX port page.
