Relative question :

I take a look at http://www.opensource.apple.com/ to see if Freetype configure/build options are detailed but didn't find anything usefull.

I want to check my configure options, using clang and dual arch settings.

Any feedbacks welcomed.

I'm experimenting using a pre-built FreeType, included in OpenJDK7 ire/lib at install time.

2012/4/26 Scott Kovatch <scott.kovatch at oracle.com>: I was able to build on Mountain Lion with XQuartz installed: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/, but I had to do some makefile hacking to get it to work. I don't have a cross-version patch yet, sorry.

I'd personally like an option to build a JDK without the X11 support. I'm trying to imagine a scenario when I would ever want an X11-based AWT, but can't. -- Scott K. On Apr 26, 2012, at 2:37 AM, Henri Gomez wrote:

X11 support will be removed in Mountain Lion :

http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/17/apple-removes-x11-in-os-x-mountain-lion-shifts-support-to-open-source-xquartz/ There is some dependencies required on OpenJDK like FreeType. libfontmanager.dylib: @rpath/libfontmanager.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 14.0.0, current version 14.2.0) @rpath/libawt.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0) /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 52.0.0) @rpath/libjava.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) @rpath/libjvm.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) Removing this dependency should be easy by embedding FreeType in OpenJDK 7/8 I plan to works on it ASAP

2012/4/26 Edvard Wendelin <edvard.wendelin at oracle.com>: It seems like X11 is included with Lion: http://www.apple.com/macosx/apps/all.html#x11 I haven't installed it separately either and the JDK builds fine. Cheers, Edvard On Apr 26, 2012, at 5:13 AM, Ray Kiddy wrote:

The first step is to add the Mac OS X platform. I have gathered the requirements from the Mac OS X port wiki [2][3]. It seems like Apple has dropped the "Mac" part of "Mac OS X" and now only call the product "OS X Lion" [4]. Question is if this is only a marketing term or if it's now the official name. In this webrev I've used "Mac OS X".

I'd suggest adding a line a la "After installing XCode, you must install the XCode command line tools. They are available for download through XCode itself." cheers, dalibor topic I would also suggest pointing out that X11 is required to build. I do not think it is part of the base install of the Dev Tools, it is not separately downloadable (so I need to try to find those @#$%@&! DVDs) and it is not a command-line tool. Or is it part of what you get with that install option? I am still on SnowLeopard, so I do not know. And I cannot build the JDK for lack of freetype, which seems to come with X11. cheers - ray ps: That's quite a signature there, Dalibor. Do you drive a really big car, also? :-)
