Thanks very much, Brian. The information, especially the URLs, will
be helpful.
I need a different kind of information, however, before I can proceed
with the kernel compile. I am very unfamiliar with how OS X and Darwin,
and the xnu kernel in particular, interact.
So you are saying the external hard drive that I plan on replacing
into the mid-2005 imac g5 and upon which I hope to compile a kernel for it
needs to be running Leopard? I am pretty sure I can do that since I have
the original install disks for the mbp. (I already tried installing
directly on the imac g5, but the boot failed. -- I don't have the install
disks for the imac g5 anymore.)
What I can't figure out is what xnu source to use. On the Apple
site "https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/xnu/"; there is a list of
xnu source with version numbers, e.g., xnu-3247.1.106.tar.gz. What
is the version number equivalent to Leopard?
And back to my original question, can I compile a kernel using
the "Leopard" xnu source on the mbp's internal drive which runs El
Capitan using the latest compiling tools, or do I need to get dtrace
and other dependencies at the Leopard level? Are those things even
available anymore?
Again, thanks so much.
