[ROOT] Root on Darwin/MacOSX ?

Hi,

I was wondering how to go about building root for a new platform like Darwin. Darwin is Apple's open source bsd derivate on top of which runs MacOS X (http://www.apple.com/macosx). A lot of unix/gnu programs are already available for Darwin, like xfree, a load of command line tools etc.

I gave it a shot with the bsd build targets but didn't get far. Since there is no configure mechanism I wonder how to adapt the sources for a new/unknown platform. What are the prerequisites to met to build root? There's xfree and there's a compiler. Are there other Darwinists out there eager to run root on their Macs?

Cheers,
Sven
