[darwinbuild] perl 5.8.1 (perl-25.2)
by Dale Walsh 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

While I build the Perl software I'm experiencing an issue that involves setrgid and setruid not being implemented. I've tried editing the hints.append file with no success. Seems that this isn't being supported for some reason however I'm not experiencing any build problems. As a side test, I tried building the Perl for 10.4 under 10.3.9 and it builds without issue but also experiences the same problem with setrgid and setruid. Going a step further, I substituted 5.8.6 with 5.8.7, tar'd it back up and this built without problems but also experiences the setrgid and setruid problem. One thing I did notice when I upped the perl to 5.8.7 was that it warned about two patches which seemed to already be applied but this was the only issue that was reported and no build errors were experienced. I made a minor change to the patch file and this resolved the warning about a previously applied patch. I then installed OSXS 10.4, upgraded to 10.4.3 and tried to build the perl software and it seems that it also suffers the same problem with setrgid and setruid. I've checked unistd.h in both the 7W98 and 8C47 and the entries exist for these functions so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Also, under 10.3.9 I am unable to build darwinbuild-0.7.x due to a redefinition and a conflict of types for readlink. -- Dale

If you'd like, OpenDarwin has its own property list for 8F46 available at: <http://release.opendarwin.org/release/8.3.1/plists/8F46od1.plist> If you download this plist, and re-run darwinbuild -init with it, you will get all of the OpenDarwin patches automatically: # curl -O http://release.opendarwin.org/release/8.3.1/plists/ 8F46od1.plist # darwinbuild -init 8F46od1.plist Also, I just noticed that our correspondence hasn't been sent to the darwinbuild@ mailing list. In general I like to answer questions with the mailing list cc'd, so that everyone can benefit from the answers to the questions. Is it OK if i re-send our emails to the mailing list? Thanks, Kevin

Kevin, 1. To build the libsecurity_keychain, I ran # darwinbuild libsecurity_keychain I got an error: CoreFoundation/CFNotificationCenter.h: No such file or directory. Try to solve this problem, I ran # darwinbuild CF I still got errors. Do I need to set up the header file environment first or I need to run Some patch file? 2. To build the IOUSBMassStorageClass, I ran # darwinbuild IOUSBMassStorageClass I got an error: IOKit/scsi-commands/IOSCSIProtocolServices.h: No such file or directory. To run darwinbuild on a project, is there a general rule to follow? I mean If a build failed due to the build order, I can easily to figure out what I should do. Thanks a lot, Ben

I believe old 8.2.1 patch continues to apply to the new Security project. You can simply use the old patch. > 2.

All of the dirs found in the Root will be copied to the base system, i.e.: $ find Roots/Security/Security-222.root~1 -type d > 3.

As you can see in the patch, the Mac OS X version of the security framework includes the security_comcryption and security_cryptkit sub- frameworks. You could use diff(1) on the output of nm(1) on the system's Security framework, and the Security framework which you build to see which symbols are not available in the open source version. I do not know which applications (if any) use these symbols. It's possible they're only used internally by Apple and won't affect your system. > 4.

It would be better to do a build with 8F46 if you want to use it on 10.4.3. New features were added in the 8F46 version, for example iChat encryption, which would be disabled if you were to use the older 8A428 version. > Do I need to back up the framework first? Always. =) - Kevin

Kevin, Thanks so much for great help. 1. I have checked my system. The productVersion is 10.4.3 and BuildVersion is 8F46. I just checked the website http://release.opendarwin.org/release/8.3.1/Sources. There is no such a patch. I just ran: # darwinbuild -inti 8F46 # darwinbuild Security The Security-24844.tar.gz file was used and the build was failed. So is there a patch I need for 8F46? 2. For the command # ditto Roots/Security/Security-222.root~1 / Which dirs will be affected? 3. "Keep in mind that the open source Security framework is slightly different from the Mac OS X one." Can you give me a little more details what is the difference? 4. "If you haven't modified the framework itself and are only trying to install the private headers, then you might want to consider removing the framework's dylib from the Roots directory before installing on the base system." I am not clear if I can use my success 8A428 build in my 10.4.3 OS X? Do I need to back up the framework first? Thanks a lot again, Ben

If you want to build the versions that are from 10.4, use 8A428. 10.4.2, use 8C46, and so on. You can find the build version of a Mac OS X system by running the `sw_vers` command. > 2.

You should be careful about using private headers (i.e. headers that aren't part of the Developer Tools package) since they may be incompatible in a future release. That being said, to install the private headers or a modified project built with darwinbuild, you can copy the project from the Roots directory to your system using the following: # ditto Roots/Security/Security-222.root~1 / Keep in mind that the open source Security framework is slightly different from the Mac OS X one. However, it will likely work in most cases. You should definitely make a back-up copy of your Mac OS X security framework. If you haven't modified the framework itself and are only trying to install the private headers, then you might want to consider removing the framework's dylib from the Roots directory before installing on the base system. - Kevin

Kevin, Follow your instructions, I have passed my build. A couple of follow-up questions: 1. Why we use the 8A428 instead of 8C46. What they really mean? Where we can find out the descriptions for such numbers? 2. If I want to build a keychain app by using these header files and libraries in my real OS X environment, what results such as those files in the BuildRoot directory I should move into the directory /usr/local or somewhere in the system? Thanks a lot, Ben

Can anyone tell me how to build the security project? I downloaded Security-222 and Run under build root dir darwinbuild Security 222 or go to Source/Security-222 dir to run xcodebuild -buildstyle Darwin install I cannot pass my build. Any Suggestion? Thanks, Ben

[darwinbuild] introducing darwinup
by Kevin Van Vechten 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Last night I committed a project called darwinup to the darwinbuild project. The goal of darwinup is to provide a way to safely test roots built with darwinbuild on the base system. Roots that are installed with darwinup can be uninstalled, restoring the system to its original state. darwinup should be considered experimental at this time, so exercise caution while testing it, but I'm not aware of any catastrophic problems. darwinup does not currently back up any extended attributes (including resource forks) and I suspect the format of the database may change yet, so there might be compatibility issues in the near future. That being said, I'd appreciate any feedback from testing, bug reports, or fixes. Thanks, Kevin

Hi, So darwinbuildheaders is mentioned in the README but I don't see it anywhere.
