Ok... can do anything to help you?
There is one big problem with MacOS X. The default root filesystem
on MacOSX is normally HFS+ in case-insensitive mode.
I know. I don't really like it and i hate software that depends on
that (i had that one time, program writes "file" and reads "File")
but... since i come from the Linux people i like case sensitive
filesystems and i run my OS X on it and have it on all my OS X
harddisks.
The Linux kernel source needs a case-sensitive filesystem.
There are three options:
- reinstall macosx on a case-sensitive HFS+ partition
- use a usb disk or free partition to create a case-sensitive HFS+
partition for the buildroot
- use a script to create a imagefile with a case-sensitive
filesystem
Creating the images is no big deal, you just have to know the
command. You don't need a script for that, usually 5-10 lines in
the manual are enough. I think, the pkgsrc manual describes how to
do that, if you want an example.
The base system compiles fine on BSD. There are some packages which
checks some Linux specific stuff, which do not let you cross-compile
on BSD. (f.e. mysql)
Ok, that's nothing you can easily change, but no big deal as long
as you don't depend on the packages.
We will try to finish MacOSX support for 1.1.
Ok. If i find some time and you provide me some help, i can try to
play around with it a bit. Is there some documnentation or
something like a roadmap online? Last time i looked i did not find
anything.
And... before i try to bootstrap... which Accesspoint would you
recommend? I own a WRT54G v2, but i can't use it for that. I would
be interestes in something with WLAN, USB (2.0 if possible) and 2
or more network ports.
Thanks,
Philipp
