I've tried building XNU, and more recently I've tried compiling AppleADBKeyboard, and I get failures that make me think I've got some sort of missing headers or header mismatch. In short: switch to gcc 3.3, and you will be happier. To do that in Xcode, I think it works like this: - GetInfo for your target - select 'rules' - The "System C Rules" Process pop-up lets you choose the language; - the "System C Rules" Using pop-up lets you chooes the compiler.

Can someone suggest what might be wrong here? Is this perhaps an issue with gcc4, and can I tell XCode to use gcc3 somehow? I'd really like to get this to build, but I'm new to XCode and new to MacOS in general. I didn't look through your errors, but I think that the consensus (or, perhaps, the advice from Apple) is that you not use gcc 4 as it currently stands, particularly not for the OS and extensions. In the first place, the version of gcc 4 that Apple shipped predates the "final" gcc4 support for C++, so its support of that language is not great (a number of important bugs were fixed for the final release). In the second, most of the open source components of Mac OS X 10.4 were compiled with gcc 3.3, including the kernel. If you are just building with command-line tools, you can use "scc_select" to set the default compiler. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
