Well, I take that back. Tried installing 2.7.5 just in case, and now it works fine.
Summary: - Yosemite installer breaks XQuartz configuration (probably something trivial like removing a symbolic link) - OpenJDK build is not compatible with XQuartz 2.7.7 (probably something trivial like a file name change) Workaround is to run the XQuartz 2.7.5 installer after installing Yosemite. —Dan > On Oct 22, 2014, at 11:11 AM, Dan Smith <daniel.sm...@oracle.com> wrote: > > I'm pretty sure I had XQuartz 2.7.5 installed when I started, and only > installed 2.7.7 as an attempt to address the failure. > > —Dan > >> On Oct 22, 2014, at 5:52 AM, Bernhard Urban <bernhard.ur...@jku.at> wrote: >> >> Hi Dan, >> >> I had some problems building JDK8 on Mavericks regarding freetype.
