I tried back quite a while a go to get Icedtea to build on PPC - have a perfectly good iMac but no Intel based Mac. I didn't get too far but worked on it quite a bit. The reason we used Icedtea is to get the Zero port along with the bsd-port. I haven't looked closely whether Zero and bsd-port are u

I assume this is for building OpenJDK7 and not OpenJDK6. I'm personally interested in backporting the OSX/Darwin work done for OpenJDK7 for building OpenJDK6 on OSX. This is (IMHO) especially important since JDK6 is rapidly going mainstream, and Oracle will likely discontinue free upgrades soon

Btw, I was able to successfully build on my OSX 64-bit Intel using the fix provided in another thread. just in case if anyone else is running into this problem: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/bsd-port-dev/2010-October/001312.html Thanks, Arul On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Arul Dhesiase

Tony, That has been my limit too. I am limited on time, and I update the documents on the builds as I have time, but two nights ago I tried to a build for PPC with the latest code and "BOOM". So I gave up for the evening and have not been back. I think the first thing we need is a consistent buil

I've got some PPC and Intel based 10.4 machines to use for testing. I've got good experience over the last year building OpenJDK 6 from source (for Windoze and Linux) and deploying it with cross platform one-click installers. ( check out http://openscg.org ) --Luss

I've got a Dual processor G4 with lots of hard drive space that could be used for PPC work for 10.5. It's been over a decade since I've done serious c/c++ programming let alone dealt with Make files. A while ago I tried to do a build but got frustrated and ran out of time to get back into it. I

I too have had great luck using the old Soylatte build of OpenJDK 6. I understand that this can nicely be used as a bootstrap build for OpenJDK7. What I'm wondering is if anyone is willing (and capable) of getting it so that a miore current OpenJDK 6 can be built as a 32-bit Universal OSX binary
