It didn't succeed after editing the mentioned files. I started 
investigating but I couldn't find the issue.

Then I went back to my compiler to-do plate, and I'm still there.

For me, as an unexperienced user, the build instructions are not very clear.

I learned that I need a gcj and classpath. Then I tought to jump into 
the ports tree, java/openjdk6|7 and do a make.

Here I had learned from you that I have to edit these files:

OPENJDK6:  jdk/make/common/shared/Platform.gmk (line 91)
OpenJDK7:  jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-versions.gmk (line 222)

and change the hardcoded 1.6 to 1.5. ok.

But still, I seem to misunderstand some bits.

This is the latest error where I gave up:

-def-pcompile:

What I'd need is a diff for the openjdk6/7 Makefile and patches if 
needed which I could just place in the files section. Then my 
expectation would be go and make :)

I know, it is a hard thing. But you know the fine details and I really 
lack the time to dive in atm.

Thanks,
Andreas
