 | | The goal of the OpenDarwin project is to provide a binary compatible development environment for Mac OS X. | | | The OpenDarwin project is based on the latest sources available from the Darwin project at Apple Computer. | | | One of the key aspects of the project is to enable interested Mac OS X and Darwin developers to be able to retrieve, modify, build, and distribute operating system changes. |

| | OpenDarwin is an operating system based on Apple's Darwin, but with certain "value added" features. | | | The OpenDarwin Project is an offshoot from Apple's Darwin initiative. | | | However, OpenDarwin includes X11 and a wide range of software can be installed using DarwinPorts, including fully fledged desktop environments like KDE and GNOME. |

| | MacGIMP - Package Conflict: Fink versus OpenDarwin |
| | OpenDarwin project and the Fink project are currently at loggerheads. | | | The OpenDarwin page seems to indicate that they represent the community effort to port these projects to Mac OS X, but clearly the public (as in outside of Apple) efforts for the past year have largely taken place within the Fink project. | | | Also, both have graphical installation tools: DarwinPorts-Cocoa versus the FinkCommander However, Fink puts everything in /usr/sw/ whereas OpenDarwin puts everything in /opt/local/ Earlier today the Fink project released a notice to avoid OpenDarwin's packages. |

| | The macosxhints Forums - using Opendarwin |
| | The OpenDarwin Project is currently solving OS X.2 issues, as are the Fink folks, so by the time when OD will have a full gammut of PKG installs available, the new Fink should be up. | | | So, I was reading up on the fink vs. ports system around the web, so I thought I would give the opendarwin project a thought. | | | You can read for days and days, memorizing everything, following everything to the letter, yet still, the average educated user will still find it totally impossible to translate the arcane language and esoteric instructions into the actual installation of the least application. |

| | If OpenDarwin on PPC became a massive success then anybody could manufacture a PPC computer that it could run on. | | | Apple *could* change the license for future versions of *their* Darwin implementation, but that would just mean OpenDarwin would become a fork. | | | Linux (I mean the kernel Linux + Gnu tools + KDE etc) has a much larger community behind it than OpenDarwin, so it is much easier to find software that runs on it. |

| | JH: I would say the first thing to do is find a project, like opendarwin or fink or any of the dozen or so Mac OS X-related projects on sourceforge, which seems to be doing stuff you're interested in and start "hanging out" in the forums they provide. | | | The reason I ask is that I've found the Darwin build system to be insanely difficult, it requires an incredible amount of bootstrapping, uses Debian style.deb packages and is really badly documented. | | | With the release of Mac OS X millions of less technical users have been introduced in one way or another to open source software. |

| | Compiling the MJPEG on MacOS/X |
| | A lot of the items can be found in the Opendarwin ports collection but other than the libglib/gtk you might want to fetch/build most of it from the original sources (or the CVS version). | | | It is almost certainly a good idea to place all of the built/ported libraries and include files in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include because that is the default for almost all autoconf based programs such as mjpegtools. | | | The library portion builds easily enough but the 'playdv' program is OSS audio specific and either needs to be edited or removed from the Makefile (encodedv also is linux/x86 specific and needs attention). |

| | OpenDarwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The goal of the OpenDarwin project, founded in April 2002, is to create an independent branch of the Darwin operating system that increases collaboration between Apple developers and the open source community. | | | The OpenDarwin developers use a version control system called CVS to manage changes to the OpenDarwin source code. | | | Apple benefits from the project because development in OpenDarwin is often incorporated into Darwin releases; and the open source community benefits since it is given complete control over its own operating system. |

| | Any Darwin software will run on OS X, but software written specifically for OS X won't run on Darwin, because the Mac interface (and various other proprietary bits) are not part of Darwin itself. | | | Although its development was originally managed rather tightly by Apple (understandable, because their business depends on it) they've loosened the leash, making participation in the development fully open. | | | So OpenDarwin is becoming an open-source OS in its own right. |
