I rechecked the directories three times and made sure they matched. I also tried it in X11. It still has problems building.

  It says this now.

make: ***empty varauble name. stop.

This is what i typed in:

#!/bin/sh cd bsd-port time env -i
 PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
 LANG=C
 make \  (<-- there is a makefile in BSD folder)  CC=gcc-4.2
 CXX=g++-4.2
 ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true
 ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/local/openjdk7-zerovm-ppc-jyeary-2012-02-16-07-18-b00 \  (<--- made sure that was correct)  ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/X11R6/include
 ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib
 ALT_CACERTS_FILE=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/lib/security/cacerts \ (<---- Its and alias made by the system but its there)  LIBFFI_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/ffi"
 DEFAULT_LIBPATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib"
 NO_DOCS=true
 ZERO_BUILD=true
 ZERO_ENDIANNESS=big
 ZERO_LIBARCH=ppc
 ZERO_ARCHDEF=PPC
 ZERO_ARCHFLAG="-arch ppc"
 PARALLEL_COMPILE_JOBS=4
 HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=2

It keeps hanging on this piece of code for the longest.

I tried substituting make for make -debug and nothing happens except the same error.

I made sure i was in the /users/senusiewis/bsd-port/ directory before  i continued. what am i not catching in this code?

Was there something that is supposed to be present prior to this mess? I don't want to install more useless modules without understanding what is wrong. The run around i am gettting is driving me nuts. Please double check with what this page https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/BSDPort/Darwin9Build says. Is there something i am not seeing?

  I already downloaded Macports, Mercruial, mercurial forest and the java build for my Power Mac. What is the missing link?
