I’ve put some instructions for building Java 1.7.0 on a Mac OS X
10.5.6 system here:
http://confluence.concord.org/display/CCTR/Build+OpenJDK+Java+1.7.0+on+Mac+OS+X+10.5
If you try this let me know if there are corrections or
clarifications needed for the build process.
Some parts of JRuby run a good deal faster and others slower in OpenJDK.
These instructions are lightly adapted from Landon Fuller’s post here
http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/2008/08/20#SoyLatte_Meets_OpenJDK.20080819
If you plan on working with OpenJDK on a Mac you should probably join
the OpenJDK bsd-port-dev mailing list:
