Re: Building Java9 on Mac OSX

[Lennart Börjeson]

Well, sort of. The versions of MacOS, XCode, and Command Line Tools should 
match, in the sense that any certain version of MacOS requires a compatible 
version of XCode, which in its turn requires a compatible version of the 
Command Line Tools.

It is thus not possible to keep an older XCode when you upgrade MacOS.

In practise, I just enable automatic software updates and always run the latest 
versions. It's the way of Apple, even it sometimes breaks the build of other 
software. :-/

(If you have automatic updates enabled, your problems should have automatically 
gone away at the next update…)


Keep on coding,

Hi,

Thanks, this worked. The order of installation of Xcode IDE and the Command 
line tools , seem to make a difference.

I can build on MacOS Sierra (10.12.5), XCode 8.3.2.

I have to disable ”warnings as errors”, though.  (bash configure 
--disable-warnings-as-errors)

Have you installed the Command Line Tools for XCode? That package is essential.

If you haven’t installed it, you can get it by the command:

sudo xcode-select --install

Hello,

I think you should still be able to install some 7.X version of Xcode 
and IIRC that should work better. I have not yet heard of a successful 
build on Xcode 8.

Any help is much appreciated.
