Mac OS X

December 18, 2015: Building under Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.1

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Nashorn/Building+Nashorn says

 hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/nashorn/jdk8 nashorn~jdk8

which is wrong, try:

 hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8

Then get the sources:

 cd jdk8
 sh get_source.sh 

gcc

gcc-4.3 or later is required.

I have gcc-4.4 installed from Mac Port. I tried setting various environment variables, but ended up doing:

  sudo -i ln -s /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.4 /usr/local/bin/g++
  sudo -i ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.4 /usr/local/bin/gcc

FreeType

configure fails with:

  checking for FREETYPE... no
  configure: error: Could not find freetype!  
  configure exiting with result code 1

http://gvsmirnov.ru/blog/tech/2014/02/07/building-openjdk-8-on-osx-maverick.html suggests installing XQuartz, which was already installed, so I did:

  ./configure --with-freetype-lib=/usr/X11/lib --with-freetype-include=/usr/X11/include/freetype2

That worked

Running make: __FreeBSD__ is not defined

make eventually fails with:

  /Users/cxh/src/jdk8/hotspot/src/os/bsd/vm/os_bsd.cpp:1150:7: error: "__FreeBSD__" is not defined
  /Users/cxh/src/jdk8/hotspot/src/os/bsd/vm/os_bsd.cpp:1152:7: error: "__OpenBSD__" is not defined
  /Users/cxh/src/jdk8/hotspot/src/os/bsd/vm/os_bsd.cpp:1154:7: error: "__NetBSD__" is not defined

The fix is at http://gvsmirnov.ru/blog/tech/2014/02/07/building-openjdk-8-on-osx-maverick.html#just-a-couple-of-fixes-here-and-there-and-also-there-and-there

and run make

Stray '@' in program

Running make:

At this point, I gave up.
