Ok, this has nothing to do with the problems you see, but what do you expect from this package on macOS? I feel it's not worth the bother, as it is unlikely to be useful at this point.

There's a project by the name of PureDarwin, which is sort of a fossish thing based on the released osx codebase, which I've been looking at a bit. It would be interesting imho if that project gets going really well to be able to do like we do for Gentoo/BSD, if we're talking osx specific, but if you can use catalyst in any prefix, you could theoretically use it as a starting point in getting an initial stage3 for new architectures by first building a prefix on it (assuming there is already some distro which supports it) and using catalyst within that to build a stage3 for a baremetal install. I think that's a noble goal, but way beyond our current interests. (In reply to Fabian Groffen from comment #3) > I think that's a noble goal, but way beyond our current interests. I've already fixed it and have a pr open at gentoo/catalyst https://github.com/gentoo/catalyst/pull/2 Again though, its not just for using prefix to create a Gentoo/Darwin stage3, but for Gentoo/SomeNewArchWeDon'tQuiteSupportYetButAnotherDoes stage3's. |
