[QUOTE="prushik, post: 860308, member: 105589"] All Darwin source links seem to take me to the Apple Open source page for Mac OS X. But thats probably because those portions of Mac and Darwin are identical. So I downloaded the xnu kernel source and tried to build it, but it failed miserably, I don't know, maybe I'm doing it wrong. So I wrote a script to download and extract all the source for X11R7.4. The script worked mostly, except for some reason, libX11 won't download from the ftp (permission denied?), so I substituted libX11 from 7.3, which needs xcb, which needs python to compile, and python won't build correctly. But I think xcb is a pretty recent addition, so Ill try X11R7.1, which is, I believe the version that I successfully cross compiled for armeb-xscale. [/QUOTE]
