Snow Leopard on Unsupported PowerPC Macs

By retail release of Snow Leopard, the Leopard/SL-dev rectangles became capsules, and I have yet to figure out where that call is. I do think it’s likely related to the Label squares in Finder being differently-sized between Leopard/SL-dev (larger) and Snow Leopard retail (smaller).
I’m still looking for this stuff..
I haven’t delved into the Finder rsrc files so i’m unsure if these are stored as static files or are generated and rendered on the fly.
Interestingly, if you replace the binary in System Preferences from at least some later builds with the 10A190 (or presumably 10A096) version, it will launch and function. I’m wondering what the possibilities may be doing the same with Finder, although I suspect more files would need to be transplanted.

I also wonder, but an alternative solution is to use PathFinder instead. (It has minor oddities too, but much more usable overall.)
I was thinking to try that with Xcode, since as they are versions from 10A261 and 10A286 crash on start.
I’ve only just begun to. At present in Finder.rsrc, there are no PICT image resources. Although there are a few PNG references, neither a resource viewer nor copy-pasting the contents from one of those PNG records into a blank file, saved as a PNG, has yielded any viewable image content.
This makes sense, insofar as long as the support files within the later version are what the binary calls for and/or expects to find.
Thus far, the only System Prefs I’ve changed in any fundamental way is ditching the 10A96 “Keyboard & Mouse” prefPane by using a hotchpotch of elements from the 10.5.8 version of Keyboard & Mouse prefPane and the Trackpad prefpane to produce something which more closely resembles what one would find in the 10.6.0 retail.
Another update on R, and I will make a break from it. I have built R GUI 1.72, which apparently works with minor bugs. R GUI 1.76 compiled but crashes on start. Both suffer from incompatible XIB files, so I had to replace those from 1.70. Perhaps benefits of using a newer app after such modifications are questionable.
To anyone who may consider making the latest R work on PowerPC with GUI, I guess it is safe and good enough to stay on either 1.67-68 or 1.70.
Here is the list what I managed to install, most of these easily built from source, some required tweaks.

We can safely add to Wiki that R 4.1.2 is functional with R GUI 1.67 / 1.70.
Number of packages fail to build, however what does build is enough for most of people perhaps. Then best Bayesian framework (Stan) fails, but several alternative ones have built. Some of devtools and some of tidyverse parts do not build. Nevertheless this is a usable set-up.

Pasting the contents of the PNG records should have worked.
The following script can convert PNG resources to png files. It gets the hex of each PNG using derez and outputs it to a file using xxd.
/tmp/Finder_PNG.rez is the derez output for only the PNG resources.
/tmp/Finder_PNG.txt is the same info with one line per resource.
/tmp/Finder_PNG is a folder containing the png results.
Code:
derez -useDF -only 'PNG ' /Volumes/SnowLeopard/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/Finder.rsrc > /tmp/Finder_PNG.rez
perl -pe '
s/^data '"'"'(....)'"'"' \(([-\d]+).*\n/$1\t$2\t/;
s/};\n//;
if (/^\t\$/) { s/^\t\$"//; s/".*//; s/[ \n]//g; };

s/^(CURS\t[^\t]+\t.*)......../\1/;
' \
| sort -t ' ' -u -k 3 | sort -t ' ' > /tmp/Finder_PNG.txt

thetype="${theline:0:4}"
theid="${theline:5:6}"
theid="${theid%$'\t'*}"
thedata="${theline##*$'\t'}"
{
printf "%s" "$thedata"
} | xxd -p -r > "/tmp/Finder_PNG/${i:1}_${thetype}_${theid}.png"
done
open /tmp/Finder_PNGI agree we should try and patch the final version of 3.2 at least for compatibility, we should probably also create a 10.6u or 10.6ppc SDK at some point though that should probably wait until we have a stable build that isn’t constantly changing.

It might be worth also trying to make later versions of Apple GCC compiler from 10A222, 10A261 or 10A286 work in Xcode 3.2.
Cross-compiling apple gcc using the Xcode 3.2.1 source from intel Snow Leopard causes gcc to link to that version of Libsystem. Will try again building native.
Installation of the 10A222 Xcode packages directly into 10A190 seems to work fine thus far.
Could you elaborate a bit please? I have an installation of Xcode from 10A222 and the Xcode app starts normally, but I am yet unsure how functional it is.
I’ve installed the GCC packages directly from the 10A222 Xcode installer via pacifist.
I completely forgot about this. I went back to check whether he'd said anything since and it turns out he's deleted his account. That basically confirm this was just a troll or something as far as I'm concerned. Mentions of those builds in the Wikipost can probably be removed unless they've been verified to actually exist in the time since I was last here.
(Don’t get me wrong. I, too, would have loved to see these builds.)
And they can compile code? Awesome, I gonna try it then.
A quick note on software compatibility:
BarCode Pro 6.1.1 and 6.1.5 work. (Anyone into desktop publishing? We have everything now.)
Multilex 1.01 works.
I bumped into a strange note in Wiki-post about Illustrator CS4 error upon installation. I had no such error. Installed CS4 with zero issues and apps start normally (didn’t use anything for practical tasks yet, but it looks all good).
P. S. I got access to Broken Stones, however could not find any developer builds of 10.6 there. In fact not much PPC software is left overall.

Nice. You ought to throw those onto the garden (especially if those versions were released before 2012). I could certainly use BarCode Pro.
That was a note from my own testing. The permissions issue I was dealing with has come up in a couple of other places, though not to the same extent as hanging an entire application upon launching (as was the issue I was facing with Illustrator). I’ve also had some quirks with Acrobat Pro 9 and Photoshop CS4 which seem to stem from pref file permissions. At some point I might just try a re-install of CS4 to see if that clears up some of these issues.
That’s unfortunate, but not entirely surprising. :|
Managed to spend a good few hours continuing my work on rebuilding the system binaries today from Apple Open Source Projects. Improvements can be seen in many areas, and even Finder is starting to behave itself with only the occasional crash now - i think it will always be buggy but it can definitely be made to be far more usable and stable along with the rest of the system by simply bringing the underlying subsystems up-to-date with retail 10.6.
The reason for my post in this instance however is actually an unintended and unknown (to me) consequence of the changes that i have been making. Now, whenever i restart my system, i get a new helpful dialogue box that informs me which running programs are using, and those that are not using, the Snow Leopard 'Instant Off' feature.

Interesting! This is the first appearance of InstantOff I’ve seen mentioned anywhere beyond the placeholder prefPane I found in 10A96. This clearly looks like they were messing about with the concept, though it does come with some surprise that mentions/calls for it were still buried in the AOSP as late as 10.6.0 — which came much later.
EDIT to add: Hey @ChrisCharman — have you by chance clicked on that “Open Wiki” button to see where it goes? It doesn’t seem like Apple to rely on wikis, but maybe for OS development they did.

What in particular have you rebuilt so far from AOSP?
Hi @barracuda156
The custom build i'm running has been modified across 3 machines so i can't provide a full list at the moment, but the most recent Apple Open Source Projects compiled on this PowerBook G4 that are still in my build directory are:

Once i've built everything i plan to build and then rebuilt it all again with the binaries, libraries, headers etc in place, i will then share a full list and an installer so that others don't need to struggle unnecessarily. Some projects depend on other projects which depend on further projects, some require headers that don't exist on 10A190 and which must be externally sourced and so on. What is clear is that the more i build, the more useable 10A190 becomes and the more closely it matches 10A432 at least on a base system level. I will continue to work on this as i have done, but it is sporadic and only when i can find time between work and childcare of course.
@barracuda156 Yeah I haven’t run into any issues as of yet. If you go to AOSP you can download the relevant source for the build tools for each version of Xcode, including 3.2x. This in addition to the developer preview source bundles i found are on my todo list to test when i have time. I hoped cross-compiling from the MacBook would be faster, which of course it was, but i need to look more into how to ensure it doesn’t link against 10A432 intel to make the builds portable.
@B S Magnet i believe these are friendly reminders from Apple for the devs (internal and external) working on Snow Leopard development at the time to ensure they followed best practices and made use of the new features and apis.
I hadn’t clicked the button, but i have done this now and it sends the user to the browser and redirects to a URL that times out. Based on the URL it most likely was a hyperlink to developer documentation.
Given how InstantOff never came to pass, and given how TextEdit is in their list of “Instant Off killable”, I’m starting to think InstantOff is an early implementation of the save-state feature which restores applications and windows between restarts — without losing anything (and which became a thing from Lion onward, and from TextEdit onward in 10.6.8, if not also as far back as 10.6.0).
