Darwin Development Tools
The Darwin kernel requires a collection of development tools that are not part of the Mac OS X Developer Tools package. To get these tools, visit the Darwin project at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/ and follow the links for the Darwin Development Environment for Mac OS X. Those links lead to a package called darwintools.pkg, which you should install. This package installs a number of header files, libraries, and tools into /usr/local. The tools are described in Table 7-1. The source code for these utilities and libraries can be found in the cctools, mkisofs, Libstreams, and bootstrap_cmds CVS modules. If you are working with an interim or seed release of Darwin or Mac OS X that is out of sync with the current Darwin Development Environment, you may need to check these utilities out and install them yourself.
