Darwin installation on i386 PC. darwin8.0.1 vs. opendarwin7.2.1

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: Thunderbird 1.5 (X11/20060317) Gegroet, About a month or two ago, I got myself a second-hand PC to "play around" with all kind of operating-systems on it. As I already tried out darwin, opendarwin and gnudarwin on my old G3 imac-computer about a year ago, I descided to give the i386-versions of it a try on this new box. However, sofar, I have not been able to install darwin on it. Opendarwin 7.2.1 for i386 does install and work without much problems (I did have some problems to get GRUB configured correctly as the OS is installed on a disk on the slave controller); but darwin8.0.1 does not not work. I downloaded "darwinx86-801.iso.gz" and burned it onto a CD. I am able to boot and it goes as far as "The following devices are available for installation:" but then it stops. This is on a pretty standard PC without any exotic hardware, with a 1 Ghz pentium III and 512 MB of RAM. It does have two disks but none of them appears in this list. The strange thing -as I already said- is that it does work OK with opendarwin 7.2.1. Anybody any ideas? It is possible to add any "debuging" options to see what exactly is going on and what is causing the installation-process to halt there? I would like to be able give darwin itself a try as I noticed (in the more then a year that I haven't watched darwin anymore) that the opendarwin project now seams to have stopped. Is there absolutely no developement on opendarwin anymore? And there doesn"t seam to have happend that much on the "gnu-darwin" side neither; that since 2004. (now more then 2 years ago)? So is there still any work done on using darwin as a basis for an alternative OS? GNU darwin did already provide some part of this. On the same computer now running darwin, I have now less then 3 other operating-systems installed and running which are based on debian with a non-linux kernel: - debian/kfreebsd (GNU debian with a freebsd kernel) - debian/hurd (GNU debian with the hurd kernel) - nexenta (GNU debian with a opensolaris kernel) (althou this OS is not a "official" branch of debian). So, the only one that seams to be missing is GNU debian with a darwin-kernel! Cheerio! Kr. Bonne. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Actually I can set and get nGlobal from different process.Same implementation I want on MAC, is it possible? Yes; use any of the various forms of shared memory that are available to you. I don't understand why you say you "don't want to use shared memory", when your example is using shared memroy. I also note that you make no mention of how you propose to synchronise access to this variable, and I further note that you haven't marked it 'volatile' either.

If you install a StartupItem that does nothing when /sbin/launchd is present, then you're set for a strategy that works on all versions of Mac OS X. Says that as of 10.4 launchd is the correct way of launching and managing daemons. It also says that as of 10.4 using startup items is deprecated. Does anyone know how to create a single daemon that can be launched/ managed on 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and beyond systems? Is a separate daemon binary required for pre and post launchd versions of OS X?
