Darling

Please note that most GUI applications will not run at the moment. Darling has support for DPREFIXes, which are very similar to WINEPREFIXes. They are virtual “chroot” environments with an macOS-like filesystem structure, where you can install software safely. The default DPREFIX location is ~/.darling , but this can be changed by exporting an identically named environment variable. A prefix is automatically created and initialized on first use. Please note that we use overlayfs for creating prefixes, and so we cannot support putting prefix on a filesystem like NFS or eCryptfs. In particular, the default prefix location won't work if you have an encrypted home directory. Congratulations, you have printed Hello world through Darling's OS X system call emulation and runtime libraries. The Midnight Commander package from the above example is available for download. DMG images can be attached and detached from inside darling shell with hdiutil . This is how you can install Xcode along with its toolchain and SDKs (note that Xcode itself doesn't run yet): Congratulations, you have just compiled and run your own Hello world application with Apple's toolchain.
