Initial work for Xcode 3 Compatibility
by William Siegrist 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

I just committed my work on getting installXcodebuild to work for Xcode v3.0. It doesnt work yet, but its close. We're still having a problem where xcodebuild cannot detect the project under the SourceCache directory when it tries to build. I've done some dtracing and do not see any failed file accesses, however, there are a lot of volfs queries when run without the chroot, but why those volfs queries arent even attempted from inside the chroot is still a mystery. I'm hoping that someone with more dtrace, volfs, or kernel experience can look over the problem and contribute or at least offer some suggestions. It might be that the kernel's volfs implementation has more security in it to detect chroot violations now. It might also be a problem with reading the filesystem attributes, but my dtracing didnt seem to back that up. Hope this helps move us forward on this issue. -Bill ---- William Siegrist Mac OS Forge http://macosforge.org/

First-time darwinbuild user---xcode problems
by Chris Cleeland 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi, I'm a first-time darwinbuild user, having come to it because I would like to get OpenDirectory/DirectoryService built and working on one of my older Leopard machines. I originally started that endeavor by trying to build all the tools in the host OS, but ran into situations where compilation required some private headers (e.g., CFRuntime.h), and recommendations for resolution pointed to darwinbuild. I grabbed 0.7.2 and commenced to "darwinbuild DirectoryService", and had failures during setup running the installXcodebuild; some of it appears to have worked, while other parts didn't (or at least I got error messages from cpio and find). In perusing the archives from this list, I discovered some messages in January indicating that installXcodebuild is for darwin 8/tiger, and hasn't been updated for leopard yet, but it also sounds like a few folks have working build setups on leopard. For those of you who have working installs, do you have any idea what you did? I presume that installXcodebuild is supposed to mirror some Xcode stuff into the build root; can anybody provide an explanation of what stuff needs to get mirrored in? Finally, I also noticed in the archives a post indicating that Xcode sources had been posted. Is the need for installXcodebuild going to go away now that those are available, and we're just waiting for some updated darwinbuild to use those sources? Thanks, and sorry if I'm asking obvious questions, -cj

NXConstStr.h Not included in gcc builds 8A428
by Michael Franz 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

Hi, I was trying to compile gnustep-base on an installation of Darwin 8 (I now this is really old) but the configure script dies since NXConstStr.h is missing. I know that this file is in the source of gcc, so I built gcc using Darwinbuild. Since darwinbuild is reproducing the installation 'root' is also does not include NXConstStr.h. Is there a way to have darwinbuild include the additional files? I also tried objc4, but is is very small and does not include many files. I guess, my real question is, how do I get gnustep installed on darwin 8? Michael

Problems building OpenLDAP
by Norbert Rittel 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

I'm trying to fix a bug in OpenLDAP in 10.5.2 that I reported it to the OpenLDAP guys and they came up with a fix within one day: <http://www.OpenLDAP.org/its/index.cgi?findid=5402> But now I'm struggling to get this simple diff into Mac OS X (Server) as I'm even unable to compile the unaltered source. I've set up darwinbuild as instructed and have successfully build xnu and OpenSSL as two samples. But when I try # darwinbuild OpenLDAP I end up with an error pretty early in the process. config.log contains this line: ld: library not found for -lpac collect2: ld returned 1 exit status among other errors. I searched the Web for finding any pointer to libpac.dylib but there is none. Perhaps someone much more into OS development can help me with this issue. I'm already followed up to my initial bug report on AppleSeed but engineering hasn't come back to me, yet. Getting this fix in should be high priority for Apple as well because currently Set clauses in OpenLDAP fail on all Apple-supplied attributes because they all contain a hyphen ("apple-example"). - Norbert norbert(a)rittel.de · +49 171 4104321 Rittel Consulting · Emser Str. 150 · 56076 Koblenz · Germany

Manual setup on Leopard
by Ryan Chapman 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi, I¹m trying to get darwinbuild to work with 10.5.2 manually (copying the dependencies manually). I¹m wondering if someone can offer some help as to figure out what file is missing and causing this: I created a dtrace script which I thought would show me what open file system call was failing: dtrace -n 'syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s => %d", execname, copyinstr(arg0), arg1); } The output from that shows no failed open calls. I¹m fairly certain the problem is a file somewhere which defines the platform specifications. Since I have a version of Xcode > 3 (which can¹t be named), I went ahead and copied all the platforms in /Developer/Platforms/ to BuildRoot/Developer/Platforms but no luck. Suggestions? root@RyanMac/# /Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild 2008-04-01 01:58:10.943 xcodebuild[32690:10b] [MT] ASSERTION FAILURE in /SourceCache/DevToolsBase/DevToolsBase-1036/pbxcore/SpecificationTypes/XCPla tformSpecification.m:386 Details: The Mac OS X platform is missing - cannot set a default platform.
