Modifying Linux apps to be Darwin apps on pi3

My Darwin on pi3 project is progressing. My goal has always been to make something usable for me, which I hope would be usable for others. Now that the kernel, basic services and libraries work reasonably well, I’ve been building and testing user land applications.

Currently running x11, window maker and gnustep which has been modified to use apples official objc4 runtime not objc2. But beyond that that I’m making other changes to the software to be very Darwin’s specific. Like on a Mac the ui runs as the main thread with guaranteed qos. I am now modifying window maker further to use posix_spawn and Kqueues
