I realized last week that I could build one of Apple's driver stacks at home. I wanted this so I could turn on its logging as well as to enable source code debugging.
Each day I updated my clients on my progress, however by today I was quite dismayed that I still couldn't get it to build. This because Apple has a private SDK called macosx.internal. The drivers from Apple's Open Source site once built out of the box, thereby enabling OpenDarwin, but now they don't.
I at first had no clue what was in machos.internal - damn autocorrect! - but eventually figured out that it needed some headers from the xnu kernel.
I figured I should try building the kernel first, but again it depends on macosx.internal. All I really needed was the headers, so I tried:
$ make installhdrs
... which did install lots of headers, but not the ones I needed. The only headers it installs are already in Kernel.framework. I needed some of the private headers. As I figured them out I added them to my own private Kernel.framework.
When I started work again today I mailed my clients with "Working at home to continue building the IOGraphicsFamily. I am dismayed that this is taking so long."
Dismayed because the client wants to send my driver to OEMs on the first.
Eric wrote back, "Do you think this will help?"
"Yes. It should enable debugging of that showstopper bug."
"The one Lucas fixed last week?"

Upon reading the menu in a Mexican restaurant the blonde waitress asked "May I take your order?" without any trace of an accent.
I replied "I know I'm in a really good restaurant when the menu has things that I never heard of."
She screamed, threw her hands in the air then ran into the kitchen.
Not long after, an olive skinned man came out of the kitchen and with a heavy accent asked "May I take your order?"
To which I replied "I insulted your waitress. Please convey my heartfelt apologies to her."
She eventually worked up the courage to wait on me. I avoided speaking as much as I could.
On another occasion I said "Mi hombre Miguel. Tu hombre?" She was delighted, and told me her name, which I have forgotten.
Just saying "Buenas tardes" makes many Hispanics happy. It doesn't have an English translation as tardes is the period of time from early afternoon to early evening. "Buenas Dias" does not mean good day it means good morning. "Buenas noches" means good night but not "I am going to sleep now" it means good late-night.
The anglo-looking Hispanics are descendants of the Castilian - European - Spanish who have no Indian heritage. To my dismay and to that I am sure of many others, all their TV stars are Castilians. I've seen some Mexican TV but I cannot recall seeing any actors with olive skin.
