[antlr-interest] Trouble making 2.7.5 during install on Darwin/Mac OS X

[Tommy Nordgren]

Building on MacOS X requires either,
a) Overriding the default choice of Jikes in favor of javac,
or b) Explicitly setting the environment vaiable BOOTCLASSPATH to the  
directory containing
the standard Jar archives.
