1. MAC OS X port ... any interest?
I'm thinking about giving it a go and contributing the port (if successful)
back to the community. I need to talk to RDS about how, etc...
Anyone interested in participating? I think a successful port of Euphoria
to OS X would be well received and open up new possibilities for some
*true* cross-platform applications programming.
I'm also looking to extend the OpenAL and OpenGl bindings along the way...

I believe there is a BSD version of Euphoria available. Since MacOSX
runs Mach/BSD in it's backend, it should run and do stuff with Euphoria
just fine. I *think*. I'm not sure if Euphoria has a version for the PPC
processor, if it's necessary.

Right. I've worked on FreeBSD systems in the past and that's what sort of
got me thinking about this... I've talked with a good friend who's a Mac
guru and he thinks it's very possible.
I'm also interested in building a cross-compiler tool chain on using gcc,
(which is also used on OS X), and seeing what happens. I'm not sure how
much low level (assembler) coding may has been done (if any), but what
the hey, it'll be a learning experience!
Hmm, about that Mac.... Sorry. I'll be coding on a LINUX box at home and
remote testing the code on my friends Mac across the 'net.

Go download and install Darwin, if you're looking for a solution to the
testing code on MacOSX. Whatever you make on Darwin should run as-is on
MacOSX.
It's what I'll be (hopefully) doing when I start working my magicx0rz
over on my MUSHcode IDE project I'm slowly but surely working on, which
I plan'll be either using EuGTK (GTK toolkit) or the wxWindows toolkit
wrapper for Euphoria. Banking more on the former than the latter. :)
And as far as I read, it's not *exactly* GCC, it's GCC modified and
closed source, however that works. :)

Smokin' idea! I'll have a Darwin box up and running this weekend.
Hopefully.

Sounds interesting. Personally, I like the wx interface better myself...

No, there is no PPC version. You will need to compiled it. There are also=

some tweaks you'll need to perform for the Mac architecture. There are=20
certain differences with shared libraries/IO/etc. With GCC essentially=20
ported to OSX though, it shouldn't cause too much difficulty. If you do get=

Darwin, be aware that it is a command shell only. There is no fancy Aqua=

GUI. You will need to get XFree86 or something similar. I've tried it with=
=20
PearPC. Too bad networking is currently only for Linux. Once the Windows=
=20
networked release is done I can get XFree86 onto it. The thing doesn't seem=
=20
to like mounting the fake CD ISO.

Ah well, too bad. I'll have to use PearPC then.

Actually, I'll probably just work the commandline interface. I've
downloaded Darwin from the Open-Darwing site and will hopefully have
a box working this weekend. My initial goal is to get the core compiled
and tested first, then move on to OS specific issues, like the windowing
API. One step at a time as they say.
