Needs help building ApplePS2Trackpad

[Le_Vert]

Hi,

 

My notebook needs a small hack to avoid PS2 bus freeze.

Tuxx made a fix for it a few monthes ago, here is the modified kext : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=3353

 

I need to re-build it for 10.4.8, however I dunno at all how I should do this.

 

Could you tell me first if OSX kernel is built with gcc3.3 or gcc4.0 ?

 

I managed to get it build, but source code is not gcc4.0 compliant, build fails due to bad casts... That's why I would first know if kernel is really built with gcc4.0

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Regards, Adam.

So why not build with gcc 3.3?

 

And speaking of which shouldn't there be an Xcode project? (I haven't seen the code.)

[Le_Vert]

It seems gcc-3.3 has been deprecated ofr mactel so it's not needed.

 

It's an xcode project, but I don't know how to deal with it... :/

 

Here is what I get when building with gcc-4.0 :

** BUILD FAILED *

 

But my 10.4.8 OS X has an ApplePS2 kernel module, and the sources I'm trying to built comes from apple opensource website, latest version for 10.4.8.

That's why I don't understand why it fails
