Hardware: Any 64-bit capable Intel Mac

OS: Mac OS X 10.7.3

  • How to tell what version of Mac OS X you are running
    • Apple Menu () -> "About this Mac..."
    • sw_vers
  • Where to get it
    • Apple Menu () -> "App Store..."

Note: Mac OS X 10.7 will be the only version of Mac OS X supported by Oracle. 10.6.8 + Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 should continue to work for the foreseeable future. We do not expect to use 10.7-only API in the codebase.

Xcode

  • 4.1 required for Mac OS X 10.7.3
    • Where to get it
      • Apple Menu () -> "App Store...", free download
    • Run Xcode, choose Preferences -> Downloads -> Components, then select and install Command Line Tools
    • In a shell, run the following command:
      • sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app
  • 3.2.6 required for Mac OS X 10.6.8
    • Compiler flag fixes which correctly aligns the stack between function calls in 32-bit processes (3.2.6)
    • Where to get it
    • http://developer.apple.com (Mac Dev Center section)

After you install Xcode, you will have to install Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1, Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6, or a later developer preview to correct headers in the JavaRuntimeSupport framework.

Java: "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6"
