Legacy kernel 10.7.0 with custom dyld (now also with atom patch)

andyvand · #1 04-12-2011, 07:49 AM

I updated the sources so that dyld builds with Xcode 4.
This fixed the issue of Finder / SystemUIServer crashing with the custom dyld.
/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs still needs to be packed with upx though.
Also some apps that use Auto::zone::zone (for some ObjC apps) still need packing with upx.
The dyld became faster and more stable with the latest patches though.
On the fly patching works fine (tested it) on any app I've tested it on.
I've also added a new patched kernel with cpu model 15 patch (Atom / new Celeron specific, separate kernel).

The libunwind from Apple is unfortunetely privately distributed so the only option is changing the exception code to use -lgcc_eh.
This is also why some apps need to be packed with UPX (like pbs).

Tried it and it worked without problems.

There are no problems with the dyld this time.

pbs have only to be patched in 32 bit mode, or?

Thank you for your great and hard work.
This kernel is really amazing.

The only software which doesn´t work is garageband and 32 bit mode of cinebench but all other software works without problems.

thanks for the share. I assume that this kernel runs also on amd machines? I am asking cause I am running snow 10.6.7 on amd opteron 185 X2 and nforce4 chipset.

Also , any info , how we can pack pbs wih upx , patch it for 32bit mode?
