Need help with Darwin Install on Mac OS 10.2
by Steve Lutes 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I have a Mac with OS 10.2. I need install X11 on it for the purpose of running GIMP. I downloaded X11 from the Mac Developer Page and located a download page for the 2002 version of the Developer CD that works with OS 10.2. According to the Apple Developer Web Site for X11 info. at http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningx11.html It states: "Note: Installing X11 on pre-Panther systems requires manually installing XFree86 and XDarwin.app from the Sourceforge "XonX" project. " It gives a sourceforge link as http://sourceforge.net/projects/xonx. Going to this link gives a download link for XFree86 in .dmg format but not for XDarwin.app. In fact, this site says nothing about XDarwin Further research just confused me. I need to know how to install XDarwin.app on my machine. How do I do this? Thank you.

darwin ports
by James Gamber 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I downloaded the Darwin ports 1.2 for mac os x 10.4 on mac book pro dual core intel and got subversion going with eclipse subclipse plugin. My machines seems to be hotter. Perhaps the screen dims but it never goes into the sleep mode, I'm not sure. I have all the latest Apple updates and a replacement battery from the recall. Is anyone else seeing this?

I didn't know where to look. The front page for Apple's Darwin release page: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ only provides links for Darwin up to 10.4.7. Thanks for the pointer! Judging by the version numbers, the files with the 1970 timestamps are newer than the rest of the files. Do you know if all of the 1970 files are part of 10.4.8? I'm assuming I that if I want to build 10.4.8 using darwinbuild, I will need to roll my own release.plist file by screen-scraping. If you know of a pre-existing release.plist for 10.4.8, please feel free to let me know. craig

HOWTO: Building Darwin 10.4.7 for PPC using builddarwin
by Craig Harman 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

This is a brief description of how I was able to build Darwin 10.4.7 for the PowerPC platform. It is written by a newbie, and aimed at other newbies. Please feel free to chime in if you have any corrections or suggestions. This procedure was tested on an OS X 10.4.8 G5 machine with Xcode 2.4. Your mileage may vary, etc, etc. The easiest way to build Darwin is to use the darwinbuild program. Unfortunately, building the latest versions of Darwin is currently more difficult than it could be because we are in a transition period. The OpenDarwin project is in the process of shutting down, the front page of Apple's MacOSForge site has been offline since September 19th (but other parts of the site are operational, if you know where to look), and the relevant instructions for building darwin are scattered across the net. This process should become much simpler once MacOSForge is fully operational. == DOWNLOADING AND COMPILING DARWINBUILD == Use Subversion to get the latest (currently not well advertised) version of darwinbuild from MacOSForge.org: % svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/ This will create the trunk directory within your working directory. The file trunk/README contains installation instructions, which are the standard: % make % sudo make install This should work fine if you are using GCC 4.01. If you have used the gcc_select command to switch to GCC 3.3, then you will get a compilation error: cc: cannot read specs file for arch `i386' because of a line in trunk/darwintrace/Makefile that indicates what architectures Darwin should be compiled for: -arch i386 -arch ppc -arch ppc64 \ Removing the entries for the i386 and ppc64 architectures fixes the error. I had read online postings that earlier versions of Darwin should only be compiled with GCC 3.3. I'm assuming that this is no longer the case, given that darwinbuild only compiles without errors using GCC 4.01. == BUILDING DARWIN UP TO 10.4.5 == The darwinbuild README file contains instructions for building Darwin: % hdiutil create -size 4g -type UDIF -fs HFSX -volname Builds \ -uid 0 -gid 0 -attach Builds.dmg % sudo vsdbutil -a /Volumes/Builds % sudo -s Password: # cd /Volumes/Builds # mkdir Build8C46 # cd Build8C46 # darwinbuild -init 8C46 Attempting to download http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists//8C46.plist ... Download complete Attempting to download http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists//8B15.plist ... Download complete Attempting to download http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists//8A428.plist ... Download complete # ls .build Headers Logs Roots Sources Symbols If you are trying to build versions of Darwin 10.4.5 or earlier, you should now be able to issue the command: % darwinbuild xnu and the darwinbuld program will download the xnu kernel package, and all of the packages that the xnu kernel depends on, from an online repository. The current online repository is on an opendarwin.org server. The OpenDarwin project is in the proces of being shut down, and so their repository only contains source for Darwin up to 10.4.5. Using darwinbuild to compile more recent versions of Darwin will be covered below. First, it is helpful to understand a little more about how darwinbuild works. The darwinbuild program is a shell script. When it is executed with the arguments: % darwinbuild -init [build_number] it goes to the address given by the shell script variable DEFAULTPLISTSITE (by default, http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists/) and looks for the file: DEFAULTPLISTSITE/[build_number].plist Each build's .plist file can inherit information from an earlier build's .plist file. As you can see below in the sample output from the darwinbuild's README file, build 8C46 (10.4.2) inherits information from build 8B15 (10.4.1), which in turn inherits information from build 8A428 (10.4.0): # darwinbuild -init 8C46 Attempting to download http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists//8C46.plist ... Download complete Attempting to download http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists//8B15.plist ... Download complete Attempting to download http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists//8A428.plist ... Download complete At the moment, the .plist repository on MacOSForge: http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists/ only contains .plist files up to build 8H14 (10.4.5). == BUILDING DARWIN FOR VERSIONS AFTER 10.4.5 == In order to use darwinbuild, we will need a valid set of .plist files. We can download the .plist files for 10.4 to 10.4.5 using: % svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/plists/ We can find the .plist files for 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 on Apple's Darwin release page: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ The file: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.6.ppc/release.plist should be saved 8I127.plist, and the file: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.7.ppc/release.plist should be saved as 8J135.plist. The Apple build numbers (in this case 8I127 and 8J135) can be found by looking at the contents of the .plist files. We now need to tell darwinbuild where to look for our .plist files. This can be done by editing the darwinbuild script (in/usr/local/bin), and changing the value of the variable DEFAULTPLISTSITE from: DEFAULTPLISTSITE=http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/darwinbuild/trunk/pli… to something like: DEFAULTPLISTSITE=file:///path/to/plist/folder You should now be able to successfully run the command: darwinbuild -init 8J135 which will create the darwinbuild directory hieararchy needed to actually compile Darwin. Next, you will need to download a copy of the Darwin source. You can download the source from Apple with a free Apple Developer Connection (ADC) account: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ Unfortunately, Apple doesn't provide a single file with all of the Darwin source, and downloading each package individually can be tedious. The easiest way to download multiple Darwin packages is to use the getDarwinSource Perl script: http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-50441.html be sure to scroll and grab the second version of the script. You will want to edit the @inclusions and @exclusions arrays to control which Darwin packages should be downloaded. Once you have downloaded all of the Darwin packages you need, you should place the .tar.gz files in the Sources directory of the darwinbuild directory hierarchy. darwinbuild will look in this directory for either directories or .tar.gz files with the package name and version numbers specified in the .plist files. You should now be able to issue a command like: % darwinbuild xnu and darwinbuild will compile the specified package.

darwinxref findFile
by Philip Rinehart 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

Getting back to this for various reasons, from an earlier post, I realize that you have to load contents of a darwinxref database to find a file, or it will fail. Is there a way to manually generate the plist, without building every project to use findFiles? I know in a post last year that there was talk of providing this type of list via the opendarwin repository. I was trying: # darwinxref version '*' | sed -e 's/-.*//' > projects.txt # /usr/local/share/darwinbuild/buildorder projects.txt ordered.txt When I attempted to run the buildorder script, it dies immediately after generating the dependency graph, with: Generating dependency graph... done Aborting, unmet dependency loop In particular from the list that is returned, is the AdaptecBuiltDrivers project which is killing it.

[darwinbuild] Building Intel xnu with darwinbuild
by Shantonu Sen 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Currently, the build instructions at <http://kernel.macosforge.org/intel-build-instructions.html > require downloading a tarball of kernel build tools, and building the kernel with "make". Instead of doing so, you can use darwinbuild, which will do things like save the symboled version of the kernel, etc.. Instead of: • Download and install the kernel tools, a small set of additional command line tools (from the bootstrap_cmds and cctools projects) required to compile xnu. • Download the xnu-792.10.96 sources. • Extract the sources and build the kernel: You can now do the following. Since all dependencies are built from source except for the BuildRoot loaded from your root filesystem, this avoids the problem of downloading binary roots that may not be compatible with your system. Note that the other instructions on that page, specifically installing Xcode 2.4 and the updated kernel extensions, are still needed. 1) Download and install CVS darwinbuild. darwinbuild 0.7.2 does not have the required functionality 2) Download <http://www.opendarwin.org/~ssen/darwinbuild-xnu-support.tar.gz > and extract it in your build area 3) Initialize your build area: # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -init 8K1079.plist 4) Using the tips at <http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-50441.html >, download required APSL source. If your cookie times out, you may need to re-issue the curl line, and remove malformed tarballs from Sources/ # cookiepath=/tmp/com.apple.daw.apsl.cookie # username=XXX # password=YYY # curl -L "https://daw.apple.com$(curl -sL http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/apsl/ | grep appleConnectForm | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "\"" } ; {print $1}' | grep cgi)?theAccountName=$username&theAccountPW= $password" -c $cookiepath # export CURLARGS="-b $cookiepath" # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -source bootstrap_cmds # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -source cctools # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -source cctools_ofiles # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -source kext_tools # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -source xnu 5) Load BuildRoot, based on the contents of your root filesystem. Then build required dependencies, in order # /usr/local/share/darwinbuild/createChroot # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild bootstrap_cmds # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -load bootstrap_cmds # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -headers xnu # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -headers -load xnu # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild cctools # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -load cctools # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild cctools_ofiles # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -load cctools_ofiles # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild kext_tools # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild -load kext_tools 6) Build xnu # /usr/local/bin/darwinbuild xnu At this point, you can install the results however you'd like, including the updated drivers that are needed.
