Today was a big day. I posted my mozilla build instructions to my website, and they headlined at Darwinfo. I also founded the GNU-Darwin distribution. I am project administrator and the sole developer. Hopefully others will come on board soon!

I've made some progress with Mozilla for Darwin, but no binary yet. Here are my notes on building Mozilla for Darwin.

In the few tests that I have done, LinuxPPC outperformed Darwin for graphics calculations (like rasterization). Still, there is promise for Darwin, which has certain advantages such as, interoperablility with MacOSX and a realtime kernel

Additionally, SMP may be better with Darwin, and I plan to test that soon.

Meanwhile, I have been doing more ports. Here is a list of software that I have ported to Darwin.

gtk-Gnutella, WindowMaker, RXVT, Login.app, and others.

Please visit my Darwin page to see more. Here's the link.

Subject: WindowMaker hack for Darwin

I had to grab the libld source from one of the BSD's to get it working. libld is small, so I just compiled it in. I have a screenshot of it running on my iBook. I submitted to Slashdot. I doubt that they will run it, but here is the story.

All you Darwin folks can get can have Windowmaker now at http://proclus.tripod.com/darwin/. There is also much X11 software available for Darwin OS at http://darwinfo.org/ports.shtml. They have X11, AfterStep, fvwm, XV, ImageMagick, and even lxDoom. With Darwin can run X11 or MacOSX beta as you like, without rebooting! Heh, maybe we will get g77, or Mozilla going today. More to come.

I also have rasmol, and color ls from the GNU fileutils. Both compiled without a hitch.
