Just wanted to report that "it just builds fine".

OSX 10.4.11

Xcode 2.5
Component versions
Xcode IDE: 799.0
Xcode Core: 798.0
ToolSupport: 794.0

I had to install some gnu packages via Fink, but I can't remember exactly wich package I installed... but they are there! It's just a matter of "sudo find install ..."; no problems.

- change "cp -a" with "cp -pPR"; in makefiles
- change "install -D" with two lines: one for dir creation ("install -d -m0755") and one for files copy; in makefiles

I compiled almost all packages and just a few gave problems but I suppose they aren't osx platform related.

That's all.

ciao

Just adding notes as I remember them... hope to find time to collect them into an howto (I'm going to Leopard soon so I'll have to do it again... hoping 10.5 buildtools won't be as closed as the OS).

You need a case-sensitive filesystem; you can use Disk Utility to create a dmg (or hdiutil from command line, if you wish; this is also usefull to resize the image... I started with 4Gb and soon needed 8Gb).
