I wish this stuff was documented where it was accessible online, instead of having to beg DTS for it.

Really, I've no idea. I'm just trying to build a useable Darwin system with what Apple's made publicly available. Binary roots are fine; but this is in contrast to the objectives of the PureDarwin project that replaced the Open Darwin project; PureDarwin aims at very least to deliver a system built with all source code. Where they don't have Apple source, they're writing their own. Everyone's building castles, while I'm just trying to dig ditches and lay some sewer lines. Anyway, they changed the binary header format at about MacOSX 10.4.5/Darwin 8.4, so the late Tiger-era toolchains, even though they produce code for both the PPC and x86 architectures, don't produce binaries that will run on say, Darwin 8.0.1 or Mac OSX 10.4.2. I've been hanging out with the PureDarwin crowd, and one of them revealed this. But I'd seen a post by former OpenDarwin member Robert Braun making this comment about Apple Developer Technical Services; they don't have the kind of open repository of developer documentation online like they used to. You have to reqest it, and how can you do thsat if you don't know what you're asking for? Apple seems to be moving away from OpenSource as quickly as they can, to ultimately become JAM (Just Another Micro$oft). If I had *any* money, I would not even be trying this. But I have a junk PC I'm trying to get some use out of (socket 478 3GHz Intel Celeron, no 64-bit, no SSE3), and I've grown weary of Linux. The Darwin/x86 8.0.1 ISO installed and runs quite well, but I'd really like to have more up-to-date tools on it. Even still, I must curtsey in appreciation to the Apple employees who continue to do what they can to get the remaining OpenSource bits out to the community. -dh
