Hello people,
I started out looking at Apple's Open Source because I was thinking
about patching a bug in the (rather old) jabber server that comes with
OS X Server. So, as an ADC member, I downloaded the ChatServer download.
But it turns out it does not compile just like that. I started looking
for some newbie information, say a cookbook to get things started. I
found one about rolling your own XCode project around some PD software,
but that was not it. I looked at mailing list archives, but was soon
lost in lists, some of which have their last post in 2004 or so.
You might want to look at DarwinBuild
<http://darwinbuild.macosforge.org/>. This is more or less indispensable
for building the open source parts of OSX.
I don't know if there are any "good instructions" out there, but it is
possible to find out how to use it.
Besides the macosforge project, there are mailing lists.
<http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/darwinbuild-dev/>
Instructions for getting started, are for example here:
<http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-dev/2007/Nov/msg00063.html>
<http://www.puredarwin.org/developers/darwinbuild>
