Learning to build the kernel has been on my todo list for a while now. What's a good guide for getting started?
Thank you for the reply. I’ve read that page already. I couldn’t decipher how to use the information as I’m not using darwinbuild as that will not compile correctly either. So I’m just looking for a solution to make relpath. Then I think xnu may finally build.
As soon as I figure out what I’m doing I’m happy to help you get started lol

darwinbuild is there, but it is broken (there are two ports, and neither works, AFAIK).
I know it’s a shame. What I really need is someone to help me get relpath to build. It’s looking for targetconfig if I can set targetconfig then I think relpath will compile then I should be able to compile xnu
I wouldn't skip or deviate from any of the steps.I haven't built darwin, but looking at the document: https://developer.apple.com/library...//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000905-CH221-CIHFEIFI
| sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin |
| sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib |
| cd bootstrap_cmds-version/relpath.tproj |
| make |
| sudo make install |
Does that makes any sense? Or I apologize if I am stating the obvious.
You may need to set an environment variable, or maybe set targetconfig with a command—I don't know. 🤷♂️
I am not sure what this old posting is talking about. "CF Lite" may be totally off-topic. I am not sure.

You need to build TargetConfig from the Apple Open Source Projects, then you will have the tconf binary which will search the plist for the RC_Target_Config that you define as a build flag. You may also need to symlink the plist if it cannot be located on your system.
