paulmer2003 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm running OSX 10.4.3 on my server rig at home. As a avid Unix and Linux user I would like to compile the kernel. I herd about people doing this on PPC but x86? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20216-recompiling-the-kernel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Sure, why not? There is fat source (I believe) for Darwin 10.4.3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20216-recompiling-the-kernel/#findComment-133244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmer2003 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Whats the diffrrence between the apple one and the darwin one? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20216-recompiling-the-kernel/#findComment-133263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurphy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Whats the diffrrence between the apple one and the darwin one? The apple one is precompiled. OSX kernel is Darwin 8.4.x. As long as it builds right, and you don't happen to get it to not include support for something that's needed, or cause some sort of other hosing of the kernel, a self-compiled kernel should just drop into a working OSX install.

fireshark Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Other peple have tried it, and it wont work since the darwin sources dont have some apple propieraty parts.
