Re: kext ownership settings

It never would have occurred to me either. I build the kext in my project dir and kextload it from that location (it's unnecessary to copy to /System/Library/Extensions). kextload complains if the owner:group are not set to root:wheel. If I'm building the kext as my regular user (cremes), it can't overwrite something owned by root EVEN IF it is in a directory owned by cremes.

Am I missing something simple?

This makes doing ProjectBuilder builds really tough when running the

It's a real pain to go in and "sudo rm -rf my.kext" every time I want
to build it and then "sudo chown -R root:wheel my.kext" afterwards.

Anyone have a slick way of setting up PB so it can get around this?

Hmm. It never would have occurred to me to build directly into
/System/Library/Extensions. I've always copied it in there manually
with sudo.
