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.
