RhapsodiOS

This is an open source reimplementation of Apple's Rhapsody operating system, that later became Mac OS X Server 1.0 through 1.2v3.

It's a fork of the Darwin 0.3 open source release done by Apple in the summer of 1999 with additional contributions from the community.

Notes

These sources work best with a case-sensitive file system. Rhapsody DR 2 and Mac OS X Server 1.0 through 1.2v3 have been tested to work at the moment.

Current builds are driven from a Windows host against a Rhapsody DR2 / Mac OS X Server ppc guest over OpenSSH. Copy vm/vm.conf.example to vm/vm.conf and set Host, User, Password, and the build paths. Defaults:

Guest path	Role
/build/src	Synced sources (RemoteRoot/src)
/build/tools	Private rbuild and bootstrap helpers
/build/bootstrap-root	Bootstrap sysroot
/build/repo	Package repository (.apk)
/build/built	World DSTROOT
/build/state	Resume state

rbuild replaced the Perl darwin-buildpackage / darwin-buildall tools. QEMU, SSH crypto, and image-loop details live in vm/README.md.

Sync sources

Upload from the repository src/ tree. Prefer one project path over -All:

powershell -NoProfile -File vm\sync-src.ps1 -Path rbuild-1
powershell -NoProfile -File vm\sync-src.ps1 -Path Developer/Commands/cctools-2

-All uploads the entire src/ tree. Exactly one of -All or -Path is required.

Install rbuild

Builds, tests, and installs rbuild plus private relpath, decomment, config, and mig helpers into /build/tools:

powershell -NoProfile -File vm\build-src.ps1 -Rbuild

Success prints build-src: complete (rbuild) and exits 0.

On the guest, the same rbuild tree is:

cd /build/src/rbuild-1
make CC=/usr/bin/cc clean test all

Bootstrap

Stage-0 seed: resume src/BootstrapManifest into /build/bootstrap-root and /build/repo. -Bootstrap runs thin rbuild bootstrap and then rbuild bootstrap-universal with the same sysroot, toolchain, state, and manifest; thin-only bootstrap is not enough for ordinary universal builds. -Rbuild and -Bootstrap cannot be combined.

powershell -NoProfile -File vm\build-src.ps1 -Bootstrap

Success prints build-src: complete (bootstrap) and exits 0. Already-built packages are skipped.

Full build

-All runs rbuild, bootstrap, kernel/drivers, then world in that order:

powershell -NoProfile -File vm\build-src.ps1 -All

Success prints build-src: complete (rbuild, bootstrap, kernel, kernel-drivers, world) and exits 0.

-Fresh is valid only with -All. It deletes /build/tools, /build/bootstrap-root, /build/repo, /build/built, and /build/state, and keeps /build/src.

To reset those outputs without starting a rebuild:

powershell -NoProfile -File vm\clean-build.ps1

Then sync anything that changed, run -Rbuild, then -Bootstrap (or -All).

Individual phases after rbuild is installed:

powershell -NoProfile -File vm\build-src.ps1 -Kernel
powershell -NoProfile -File vm\build-src.ps1 -KernelDrivers
powershell -NoProfile -File vm\build-src.ps1 -World

Flag	Remote action
-Rbuild	make CC=… clean test all in src/rbuild-1, install into /build/tools
-Bootstrap	rbuild bootstrap --sysroot … --toolchain … --state … BootstrapManifest
-Kernel	rbuild kernel --state … --arch <profile> src repo built (driverkit, driverTools, kernload, PExpert, kernel-7)
-KernelDrivers	rbuild kerneldrivers --state … --arch <profile> src repo built (remaining packaged drv* / Intel* plus drvBPF / drvPortServer / drvSCSIServer / drvSCSITape, minus rbuild-1/kernel-drivers-blacklist.json)
-World	rbuild buildall --state … Manifest /build/repo /build/built
-All	The five phases above, in order
