I was looking at sub-KEXTs as a possible way of handling a kernel
version dependency, and took a look at Apple's SimpleUserClient sample.
I build it out of the box, with no changes (on a 10.5.6 system with
Xcode 3.1.2), put in on a 10.4.11 system and got:
"com.apple.kpi.iokit" =
"A compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
and so forth for all of the dependencies.
I looked at a more detailed attempt to load (kextload -v 6) and saw that
a) the loader saw the main KEXT and the plugin (SimpleDriver_10_4) and
recognized both as valid KEXTs
b) the loader looked for dependencies only for the 10.5 version. Never
checked for the other one.
This isn't code I modified, this is Apple's sample, downloaded and built
with no changes...
Do sub-KEXTs actually work? If so, does anyone have an idea why Apple's
sample isn't loading for me? Is there some weird processor dependency?
(the 10.4 system is a G5)
