Kevin,

1. To build the libsecurity_keychain, I ran

# darwinbuild libsecurity_keychain

I got an error: CoreFoundation/CFNotificationCenter.h: No such file or directory.

Try to solve this problem, I ran

# darwinbuild CF

I still got errors.

Do I need to set up the header file environment first or I need to run Some patch file?

There's a patch: <http://release.opendarwin.org/release/8.2.1/Sources/ libsecurity_keychain-78.p1.patch>

2. To build the IOUSBMassStorageClass, I ran

# darwinbuild IOUSBMassStorageClass

I got an error: IOKit/scsi-commands/IOSCSIProtocolServices.h: No such file or directory.

To run darwinbuild on a project, is there a general rule to follow? I mean If a build failed due to the build order, I can easily to figure out what I should do.

Usually this is because there's a patch that's needed, and you can check the OpenDarwin site. If you'd like, OpenDarwin has its own property list for 8F46 available at: <http://release.opendarwin.org/release/8.3.1/plists/8F46od1.plist> If you download this plist, and re-run darwinbuild -init with it, you will get all of the OpenDarwin patches automatically: # curl -O http://release.opendarwin.org/release/8.3.1/plists/ 8F46od1.plist # darwinbuild -init 8F46od1.plist Also, I just noticed that our correspondence hasn't been sent to the darwinbuild@ mailing list. In general I like to answer questions with the mailing list cc'd, so that everyone can benefit from the answers to the questions. Is it OK if i re-send our emails to the mailing list? Thanks, Kevin
