These instructions don't work, as far as I can tell. paste error? my error?

I make a dir called ~/projects

1. cd ~/projects
2. ~/projects % git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/aarch64-port pull/14/head:pull/14
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /usr)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

If I presume you meant 'git clone' rather than 'git fetch', this happens:

~/projects % git clone https://git.openjdk.java.net/aarch64-port pull/14/head:pull/14
Cloning into 'pull/14/head:pull/14'...

~/projects %

If I then run

> $ git checkout pull/14

this happens:

fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /usr)

If I just clone like this: git clone https://git.openjdk.java.net/aarch64-port
then do this:

cd aarch64-port/
% make
You are not using GNU Make/gmake, this is a requirement

then
% gmake
Please run 'bash configure' to create a configuration.

then
% bash configure

it runs configure, if zip isn't installed, it'll fail there. Install zip, it fails 
later if java isn't already installed like so:

checking for javac... [not found]
checking for java... [not found]
configure: Could not find a valid Boot JDK. OpenJDK distributions are available at http://jdk.java.net/.
configure: This might be fixed by explicitly setting --with-boot-jdk
configure: error: Cannot continue
configure exiting with result code 1

OK, so I'll need to install a bootstrap. Has what I've downloaded so far included 
the changes you want me to test?
