Stick with the versions of projects that match the released versions

And if this is not the way to get all the modules corresponding to a
build, what is, other
than tediously downloading each module on:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/1.4/projects.html
Which does not seem to contain the list of modules, or have all the tag
suffix info.
I have actually tried both. I tried the one on the website which
supposedly corresponded to the current release of MacOSX. It failed, so
I tried the latest from CVS and got the same problem. Supposedly
anything that runs on Darwin will run on MacOSX. But this does not seem
to be the case. I even downloaded the latest gcc for darwin from cvs
and grepped the entire directory tree for any occurances of apple-kext
(trying to see if I needed a more recent compiler) and did not find
any. I also downloaded the MacOSX Darwin developer package which states
quite plainly that this package lets you compile xnu, to no avail. It
would seem rather strange to be required to install and run Darwin
simply to compile the kernel that will run on both Darwin and OSX.
On a side note, I am not worried about the overheating. I will be
monitoring it closely and can give it adiquite ventilation. This is for
a special purpose where i simply need the laptop to continue running but
do not have room for the monitor to be open.
If loginwindow.app (as it is the only thing running new at the time the
kernel receives the power savings commands) is what loads the user power
preferences, which tells the kernel how to respond to the ibook lid
closing, then what API does it call? There is some method that a
user-level application uses to configure the power savings of the
kernel. Wether it be a driver or the kernel itself that controls the
sleep mode there is a user serviceable way to tell the kernel/driver to
do it or not.
But besides that, there are other things I would like to do with the
kernel for fun so I would like to be able to figure out how to
successfully compile it anyway.
