Next (hopefully last??) update: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ddehaven/8043340/v3
(ignore changes to jdk/src/macosx/native/sun/osxapp/ThreadUtilities.m, that's a separate patch) I also removed generated_configure.sh since those will be automatically generated before pushing anyways and it just keeps getting in the way. These comments in flags.m4 are a bit misleading and not really true: # FIXME: This needs to be exported in spec.gmk due to closed legacy code. # FIXME: clean this up, and/or move it elsewhere. So, I removed them... I also removed using SDKROOT from the env, since we ignore the environment. Only two args affect SYSROOT now, --with-sysroot and --with-sdk-name. Testing: I now have two system configurations I'm testing with: 1> OS X 10.8, Xcode 5 in /Applications/Xcode.app, Xcode 4.6.3 in /Applications/old/Xcode4.app (plus everything needed to build closed jdk) 2> OS X 10.9, Command line tools only, installed JDK 8u5, freetype and autoconf 2.69 (nothing else) System 1 tests: $ sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app $ make clean; sh ./configure; make images ... 00:09:17 TOTAL ------------------------- Finished building Java(TM) for target 'images' $ make clean; sh ./configure --with-toolchain-path=/Applications/old/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin; make images ... 00:13:37 TOTAL ------------------------- Finished building Java(TM) for target 'images' (Note that building with Xcode 5/clang is faster...) $ sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/old/Xcode4.app $ make clean; sh ./configure; make images Broken! The current Xcode command line tools don't run gcc as gcc even if Xcode 4 is active Nothing we can do about this, anyone needing to use Xcode 4 will need to use --with-toolchain-path or --with-toolchain-type=clang (as below) Hudson/JPRT should not be affected unless they also have Xcode 5 installed $ make clean; sh ./configure --with-toolchain-type=clang; make images ... 00:10:54 TOTAL ------------------------- Finished building Java(TM) for target 'images' System 2 tests: OpenJDK only (ignore the time, I had it pulling closed jdk while building): $ rm -rf build; sh ./configure --with-freetype=/opt/freetype && make images ... 00:20:26 TOTAL ------------------------- Finished building OpenJDK for target 'images' Closed JDK (images only, deploy/install expected to fail) $ rm -rf build; sh ./configure --with-freetype=/opt/freetype && make images ... 00:10:05 TOTAL ------------------------- Finished building Java(TM) for target 'images' -DrD-
