Test for extended attribute support by Haiku's build system on HFS+

completed by: Matt Rajca

mentors: Joseph R. Prostko

The purpose of this task is to test cross-compiling Haiku on Mac OS X with a case sensitive HFS+ file system, and either confirm or deny if the build goes as planned after passing on --use-xatrr to ./configure.

See this page for more information:

http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/building/configure/use-xattr

Aid will be given to the student with respect to setting up the build system, or fielding any other related questions.

Proof of a sucessful (or unsuccessful build) will be required, plus showing something like the output of "mount" to determine that you indeed have a HFS+ partition set up on your machine.
