Thanks. I thought I'd ask on the list first because the chances are fairly high that the problem's with me / my build environment rather than the actual darwinbuild tool. Should the darwinbuild bug tracker be used for other problems with projects? (eg. IOKitUser seems to be missing a couple of files (iokitmic32.c and iokitmig64.c, referenced from iokitmig.c)) Or is there a more appropriate tracker / mailing list for these?

Hi, all. From reading through the archive it would appear that buildorder needs .plists ( "<build>od1.plist" ) with project group information to function correctly. The only references I can find have them stored at opendarwin.org, which isn't around any more. Are these files still being produced? and if so, where can I get them?

I'm currently trying to build 9E17 on 10.5.4 with XCode 3.0 and the latest trunk darwinbuild, and I'm unsure whether the build failures I'm getting (across multiple projects) are due to dependencies or other problems in my toolchain, so I'd like to rule out the former.

Failing that, can anyone suggest / point me in the direction of an optimal build order list. I've know about "darwinxref dependencies - build <project>", but the results seem to be circular / recursive so I though I'd pick some smarter brains instead.

The build order stuff is not required, though it could help. I recommend filing tickets in the darwinbuild bug tracker so I can see what your errors are and comment on them individually. There are plenty of projects which have build issues, some of them are already reported there.
