Hi Henri,

Stephen Bannasch produces OSX builds as tarballs, and posts about them on mlvm-dev.

They aren't .dmg-based installers, so people have to understand how to integrate them manually (and e.g. set JAVA_HOME) to use them, but I've managed to use them from the command line very successfully.

The latest one is:

http://www.concord.org/~sbannasch/mlvm/java-1.8.0-internal-mlvm-2011_10_22.tar.gz

Stephen - could you perhaps post news of your builds to these mailgroups as well?

Thanks,

Ben

Interesting.

Wondering if we could do the same for OS/X. Is it supported allready ? 2011/10/28 Volker Simonis <volker.simonis at gmail.com>: Hi,

I've put together a short description on how to build both, a 64- and a 32-bit version of OpenJDK 8 on a plain, vanilla WindowsXP 64-bit operating system using only free (as in free beer) tools: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simonis/archive/2011/10/28/yaojowbi-yet-another-openjdk-windows-build-instruction It seems as if  it is not that hard anymore nowadays:) Regards, Volker
