The openjdk recipe does indeed depend on (at least an earlier version
of) itself. I'm not sure what is supposed to be done about this. How
was it built in the first place?
Building OpenJDK requires a java compiler, so bootstrapping requires
either some cross-compilation or a java compiler that isn't java based
(e.g. gcj). I don't known what method Hamish used. At any rate, once you
have a working OpenJDK, it is easiest to do further builds using a
pre-existing OpenJDK package.
As for the self-dependency, apparently the (1.8) recipe lists openjdk as
BUILD_REQUIRES. I believe it really should be a BUILD_PREREQUIRES. This
should solve your dependency problem (assuming Kitchen's dependency
resolver works as it should). It also shows that a haikuports.cross
recipe can (and should) be created.
CU, Ingo
