Senusi,
I don't think it is feasible trying to build OpenJDK7 on a ppc mac. It
might have been done, with lots of work, but it will definitely not work
"out of the box" and will require substantial programming and system
maintainence experience.

It says this now.

This is what i typed in:

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?
