The very first requirement is

"- Linux kernel >= 2.6.19"

So basically no. OSX has nothing to do with Linux so this should have been clear to you from the start.

Yes it does, but I'm not sure if it's the same one your using.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Hal on Mac OS

I am really confused...
Someone says YES and the other says no....
What exactly is the solution to the problem ???

Well to me it would stand to figure that the Linux kernel and the OS X Darwin kernel would be different. Different enough for it not to work? I think there might be only one way to see.

OSX has a HAL but not the same HAL as the one you showed (Linux).

Daisy, Daisy...

Hal

Are you trying to compile or install some sort of software on the command line? Cause if you are it sounds like it is not compatible for OS X if its asking for the Linux HAL.

Haha first thing I thought of too!

hal on Mac OS

If hal is already there for Mac OS X ? Then how to keep the hal daemon running..? How to mount the devices using hal on /media ?

EDIT: Nevermind...

You don't. The Mac OS X HAL != Linux HAL and the Linux HAL cannot be compiled for Mac OS X (and vise-versa).
