Hi John,
The ppc build is broken right now. It depends on a component of hotpot
called zero. Zero appears to have fallen behind other changes in hotpot.
When zero is caught up we can import it and fix the ppc build.
Regards,

Subject: Re: OpenJDK Zero PPC Build on OS X Leopard
Hello Kurt,
There were some remarks from the Apple team that it would not build. Do you
believe that is not the case? I hope you are right. I would love to squeeze
a little more life from my G5. It is still such a nice machine.

Hi John,
I took a look at this and yes there are problems with the zero build.
The first one is that langtools detection of when to build stub files
is broken again. I have a fix for this that I will push up shortly.
The second problem is that the zero build is not up to date with the
current hotspot builds. zero support is back at b143 but the rest of
hotspot is at b147. In particular RicochetFrame changes have made
zero support not buildable. We will need to wait for the zero developers
to catch up to us before the ppc build will work again.
Regards,
-Kurt

Hello All,
I was just trying to do a build on Leopard for PPC, and no matter what I
have tried it fails. Does anyone have a current build script that will
work
on OS X Leopard for PPC?
