The build errors I've encountered were coming from Objective-C code behind Apple's LWAWT implementation, particularly from functions dealing with HiDPI and multi-display support (which rely on 10.7+-only API, see https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/issues/3). From the POSIX compatibility perspective, the JDK 7 build system is completely fine (meaning an Xcode installation plus a few bits of MacPorts would be more than enough). So if I were on 10.5.x, I'd consider building an X11 Toolkit instead of the Cocoa-based one in case the number of build errors grows too high. As per JDK 8, you need a JDK 7 installed in order to build it, don't you? Yes, you do. /Magnus
