I'm new to darwin build and just ran through the installation steps. In doing so I encountered something a wee confusing. http://opendarwin.org/projects/darwinbuild/doc/tools/ index.html#install It's not a bug, nor is it a feature. The backslash is a common documentation trick when a line is too long and needs a visual break; It indicates "type all this in." It's actually more than a documentation trick. It's a common shell "escape", and means "treat the next line as part of this line when evaluating the command". One possible reason why it failed for the original poster is, any trailing character, even a trailing space makes this machanism fail. Trailing spaces are quite common if you copy&paste from HTML documents. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
