I've been trying to follow the instructions in the bundled README.rtf but I can't build the bsm-8 sources. Each time it fails in <mach/ppc/type.h> because type_name_t is undefined. On my development machine I've grepped for the type in /usr/include but it's not found. However, on the server (and my Powerbook) it's in / usr/include/mach/mach_types.h! I have no idea where this went or how to get it back. I recently upgraded to Xcode 2.2.1, but my Powerbook has been running that version for some time and its headers are fine. Any suggestions? Also, is it even possible to build a replacement for DS on an Xserve? I'm a little concerned about gcc versions and ppc vs ppc64 (my development machine is an older iLamp). Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I started porting that to intel but hit a problem in the Inferno toolchain. Any userspace binary can be universal in my experience. I'm not sure about kernel extensions but then I never looked.

Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… I am a complete newbie on this one, so I hope you could bear with me. This is my first time to lay hold on anything related to MAC OS... All I need to do is to debug through the darwin's hfs code. (i.e. when I insert an HFS-Plus-formatted CD, i want to debug through the hfs code to better see how it works). You will find this virtually impossible, as a newcomer to the Darwin world. What I did was I downloaded the files found in http://gobsd.com/code/darwin/xnu/bsd/hfs/. I didn't download any other files (is this ok?). Nobody is going to be angry at you for doing that, if that's what you mean. I would like to ask how I could compile this in Xcode. (i.e. do I just add the files in a new XCode project, etc. etc.) I'm sorry if this seems so elementary to you. I had been searching through the internet, but I haven't found the solution yet (most probably because I don't know exactly what to search for). If you were to explain why you think you need to "debug through the HFS code" we might be able to give you some better advice. Things are much more complex than I think you think they are.

Is this something to do with the way Rosetta handles things, or the way the libraries that X11 are implemented. I think this is more due to confusion than anything else. The problem, from what little I've seen, is that people often (unwittingly) rely on various libraries which are i) not universal, and ii) not bundled with Mac OS X, and thus there is no way for them to run (either with or without Rosetta). This is especially true if there's some graphics libraries that make specific assumptions about the underlying hardware. As was pointed out earlier, it is trivial to compile UNIX libraries and command-line tools as Universal, so everything "should" work. If it is open source, the best solution is to simply compile it Universal (or at least Intel-native). Unless it has a really hairy build system (e.g., like KDE or OpenOffice), it shouldn't be that hard. ;If you get stuck, ask here if its X11, or on unix-porting If it is not open source, first check to make sure you know that it runs properly on PowerPC machines. Pretty much the only common software that won't run under Rosetta are a) emultators (e.g., Virtual PC) and JNI-bridged hybrid Java apps (e.g., NeoOffice) -- pure Java, of course, runs fine unless it explicitly requires JDK 1.3. Hope this helps. If you can in fact find an actual X11 application that runs under PowerPC but not Rosetta, please let us know (by filing a bug, and posting it to this list).
