There was a recent thread about JDK-8145206: Configure broken on Macosx I just attempted to bulid jdk9 on OS X 10.11.2 and configure failed with:
configure: error: Could not find freetype! /Users/me/dev/openjdk9.common/autoconf/generated-configure.sh: line 82: 5: Bad file descriptor Checking README-builds.html I see that Freetype is listed as something that is needed for Linux and Solaris, but not Mac OS X. What is broken, configure or the System Setup instructions? Thanks, Scott
