Abstract
After the previous chapter, we hope you are at least somewhat comfortable working in Darwin. In this chapter, we’ll move on and show how to extend the power of Darwin by covering the following:
-
An introduction to shell scripting
-
An overview of Perl, Python, and Ruby, which are three powerful scripting languages included with Leopard
-
How to find and install a range of additional applications using MacPorts and Fink
-
How to custom compile a Darwin application from the source code
