I'm having some problems getting the build to complete.

Everything seems normal throughout the build - I need to add some additional
env variables for the make to work properly, something like:

ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/local/openjdk7-darwin-i386-20090131
ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/local/openjdk7-darwin-i386-20090131
ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH=/Users/boxcat/jdk-7-icedtea-plugs
ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/X11R6/include
ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/include
ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant NO_DOCS=true HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=1

for my environment (not all of these may be strictly necessary, haven't
fully experimented yet).

Hotspot, jdk and langtools all seem to build normally, but at the end of the
langtools build, I get this:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 25 seconds
gnumake: *** [build] Error 2

and although all the binaries and so forth seem to be built, it doesn't end
up with a sources/build/bsd-i586/j2re-image/ directory containing a JRE
ready for testing, which is what I was expecting.

Still looking in to it, but thought I'd report this - just in case anyone
else has been solving similar problems and can put me straight quickly.

Thanks,

Ben
