The source code for the Macintosh Application side of Mac Minix is actually found within the Minix source code itself, including all the resource definitions code segments, icons etc. See /usr/include/mac and /usr/src/tools for Apple headers and the MacBoot app.

I think it should be mentioned that another POSIX kernel running as as Classic Mac OS app is Mac06 at http://www.dsitri.de/projects/mac06/
Its not open source, but it might be helpful

Hello, I used to hack the MacMINIX to cope with the MultiFinder (WaitNextEvent()/GetNextEvent() issue is one thing I can remember now). I did not get much success then. Do you know where/there are the source codes of Mac Application side?
MINIX side of MacMINIX might not be so unstable, but it is as an application under MacOS. (in 6 to 7 eras) Rebuilt with relatively new compiler makes it much more stable and become nice for older Macs which have often less than one mega rams.

As should be fairly obvious, nobody has worked on MacMinix for some time. After all, if you want a Mac unix that runs natively, there are many others that do so... (Darwin/MacOSX, mkLinux, LinuxPPC, NetBSD, OpenBSD, ...)

Is anyone here working on MacMinix to any degree? I'd like to see MacMinix running on newer Mac hardware, natively and stand-alone, vs. as an application atop MacOS.

Minix is under a BSD style license (basically a do anything you want license, less restrictive than the GPL). I'm sure you could have found this out for yourself as well :-)

See:
http://minix1.hampshire.edu/
and
http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/

Sourceforge is for projects that change... this code has been static for years. If any group of people wanted to change some of it, they could just apply for a sourceforge account.

How was I suppose to know it was in the image file?
I guess Better Documentation and information is needed. Is this GPL'd and could it be put on Sourceforge or something?

It's all in the image file (i.e. in your minix file system). Have a look around.

it's 4/30/03 and I can't find source either. In this age of Mac OSX, the source is much more useful (as educational tool) than binaries. Anyone ported minix to Palm?
