I don’t see why compiling XNU needs to be more complicated than 1. install the compiler (easy to do just by typing ‘cc’ on a pristine Mac) 2. Type ‘make’

  It doesn't need to be that more complicated, but build systems inevitably have a way of needing at least one full time engineer to get them to the point of being that nice to use.

  That’s not how software teams work unfortunately. There’s probably three build systems and none of them work on certain days of the week and the guy who wrote it all left six months ago.

    For XNU? Doubt it. It's probably all on XBS and has multiple people maintaining the build system.

      Sorry I forgot the /s on the end of that.
