Darwinbuild files for darwin9?

Even if I patched my darwinbuild branch with variation of your patch but for Darwin9.

Can you please update URLs in plist files on your server for Darwin9 and may be even Darwin8?

If I identified issue correctly ...

I used this line to find all instances of old URLS:

grep http://src.macosforge.org/ -r .

In darwinbuild src directory.

For 9L30 (hopefully this is 10.5.8)

https://web.archive.org/web/20140223045539/http://src.macosforge.org/Roots/9L30/

works for at least first few items

@Randrianasulu PR is welcome. (Not something I plan to do myself, since I do not have any reason to rebuild 10.5 components.)

There is bigger problem .... It seems that those tar.gz links just got replaced with non-stop github!

https://github.com/mattl/opensource.apple.com/tree/master/src

may be something can be re-packaged from this tree, but ....

Does darwinbuild even work for you on 10.6?

You should be able to follow through current links from https://opensource.apple.com/releases I think.

It did last time I dealt with it: https://macos-powerpc.org/darwinbuild/
It wasn’t smooth, and a lot of package fail to build as is (I think issues are unrelated to the port itself but rather the build system in principle is a mess that requires careful manual management).

[Randrianasulu]

For now I put this

https://web.archive.org/web/20110723212952/http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1058/

into

wget -A "*.tar.gz" -i

so may be it will give me some sources.

If you have some free space on your server - can you put them there, too?

I'll look at 10.6.8 page in archive.org

Honestly, this is a bit scary - yes, source exist, but building it become more and more non-trivial task ....

[Randrianasulu]

Update - download finished with some 770+ files,1.2 Gb.

Will try to get 10.6.8 complete sources same way.

I think this is good idea to mirror whole darwinbuild thing somewhere else, too ....

[Randrianasulu]

10.6.8 seems to be downloadable from

https://web.archive.org/web/20121108111924/http://opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1068/

But considering there was whole other set of patches and binary drivers and other stuff .... I wonder if anyone got this on cd/dvd set?

[Randrianasulu]

So, apparently those root*.tar.gz files must be put in initialized project folder/Roots/.DownloadCache and sources tarballs into Sources

But I still have

make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

when I ran

darwinbuild xnu 

or

darwinbuild  network_cmds

as root of course.

[barracuda156]

For anything like building libC or XNU I would drop darwinbuild and write a portfile by hand. That is fully controllable and far easier to maintain. And there is no need to start from fixing obscure errors in build system itself.

I think darwinbuild cannot properly handle dependencies. You may need to figure out the sequence youself, and perhaps feed some builds just headers to trick them into believing a dependency exists.

P. S. Maybe try throwing this at Claude? The issues are mechanical, it is just a lot of messy Xcode projects and makefile to read and tweak manually.
