For reference, with version numbers, here is what worked for me this morning, for both release and fastdebug builds (including closed bits):
I'm on Mavericks (10.9.5), using Xcode 4.6.3, (sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer) MacPorts lipo (it works, put it earlier on your path because hotspot build references "lipo" with no fancy variables) PATH=/opt/local/bin:/Users/dr2chase/work/graal/mxtool:/Users/dr2chase/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/CrossPack-AVR/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin Note that I pick up a lot of stuff from MacPorts, and that has been known to solve some problems in the past even though it is not officially recommended: spec.gmk:PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/local spec.gmk:AR:= /opt/local/bin/ar spec.gmk:NM:=/opt/local/bin/nm spec.gmk:GNM:=/opt/local/bin/nm spec.gmk:STRIP:=/opt/local/bin/strip spec.gmk:LIPO:=/opt/local/bin/lipo spec.gmk:POST_STRIP_CMD:=/opt/local/bin/strip -S spec.gmk:NAWK:=/opt/local/bin/gawk spec.gmk:SED:=/opt/local/bin/gsed spec.gmk:OTOOL:=/opt/local/bin/otool spec.gmk:READELF:=/opt/local/bin/greadelf spec.gmk:FILE:=/opt/local/bin/file spec.gmk:HG:=/opt/local/bin/hg spec.sh:SED="/opt/local/bin/gsed" spec.sh:POST_STRIP_CMD="/opt/local/bin/strip -S" and did this change to SALIBS: SALIBS = -isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -g -framework Foundation -F/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks -framework JavaNativeFoundation -framework Security -framework CoreFoundation ( or perhaps better: SALIBS = -isysroot `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -g -framework Foundation -F/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks -framework JavaNativeFoundation -framework Security -framework CoreFoundation ) bash configure --with-extra-cflags="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F/Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" --with-extra-cxxflags="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F/Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" ( or perhaps better: bash configure --with-extra-cflags="-isysroot `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F`xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" --with-extra-cxxflags="-isysroot `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -F`xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks" ) MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 make MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 images CONF=fastdebug and it built and it worked, at least once. I have not tested this on 10.8 or 10.10 (yet).
