Prakash,
To develop a kernel extension successfully, you should have the release
version of the target operating system major release version installed
(10.1.x, 10.2.x, 10.3) installed with the latest qualified GM build of
the development tools for that version.
That is:
- If you are building a kernel extension for 10.3, you should have the
release version of Panther (10.3) and Xcode 1.0 as your development
environment
- If you are building a kernel extension for 10.2, you should have the
release version of Jaguar (presumably 10.2.6 or later at this point)
and the Dec 2002 release of the Mac OS X Dev Tools as your development
environment. You could also add the August gcc Updater to that
configuration, but it's unnecessary for kernel extensions.
- If you are building a kernel extension for 10.1, you should have the
final release version of 10.1.x and the April 2002 release of the Mac
OS X Dev Tools as your development environment.
Most kernel extensions developed for Mac OS X v10.1.x are upward
compatible with later Mac OS X revisions. They are built with gcc
2.95.2. Likewise, v10.2 kernel extensions built with gcc 3.1 are by and
large compatible with Panther. I recommend a thorough testing cycle if
you are planning to distribute kernel extensions to users of multiple
Mac OS X versions.
best,
Godfrey

or project builder from Dec2002DevTools will work fine for the
