MAC OS
MAC OS
I posted some of my sin,cos patterns and doodles to a Yahoo Group.
Some of them don't have Windows or Linux They have Apples with a MAC OS ??
Is there a way to get the Linux version working on Mac OS ? (I think Apple uses a version of unix for their OS don't they ??)
Will MAC OS X run on a normal AMD Athlon dual core ?

Re: MAC OS
You should be able to find some threads about OS X around on the forum. I haven't checked them now but I think the main limiting factor was the work needed to port GfxLib.
Depending on how desparate they are they could try things like Darwine, or Linux on a virtual machine, or DOSBox.

Windows binaries are supposed to work on Intel Macs with wine.
Re: MAC OS
Another problem is that the assembler used on Mac OS expects AT&T syntax, but fbc doesn't have a backend for that. There was an attempt at creating one in the past but it wasn't reliable enough. The C emitter backend could solve that problem, though.

Re: MAC OS
While looking for something else I ran into this.
http://lists.motherhamster.org/pipermai ... 12337.html
It is a long message thread. But they managed to build a FB for Mac it seems.
Sorry for the possible mistakes. I'm not a native speaker.

I've githubbed it here: https://github.com/countingpine/fbc/commit/teeemcee_osx
It was forked from r5402 of the old build system, shortly after version 0.21.
Re: MAC OS
Could this be changed into an official Mac OS port?

Re: MAC OS
Not by me it couldn't, sorry. The most I might be able to do is to rebase the branch to a later point in the trunk so that it incorporates more recent updates/bug fixes. But I wouldn't be capable of any further development.
PS. Here's another thread which may shed more light:

Re: MAC OS
Sounds good enough for now. :)The most I might be able to do is to rebase the branch to a later point in the trunk so that it incorporates more recent updates/bug fixes.

Re: MAC OS
Hello,
If someone did rebase it onto a recent git branch, that would be really helpful. I haven't touched it since 2010 due to lack of access to a OS 10.5 Mac, but recently a friend gave me ssh access to an OS 10.7 Mac, on which it seems to compile, so I'd like to do some work on it again, when I have time.
But maybe things are different now; I'll try it. I just had a look at the GNU Binutils changelog. Lots of activity on Mach-O support in the last two months, but practically nothing in the two years before that.

When I last tried it, GNU gas's support for Mach-O was totally broken, and Apple gas's support for AT&T syntax was also totally broken. That's why I crosscompiled to GNU/Linux ELF object files using GNU GAS and then converted to Mach-O object files using objconv. The major downside is that all debugging symbols are lost.Sannaj wrote:But isn't there any reliable port of gas on Mac OS X?dkl wrote:Another problem is that the assembler used on Mac OS expects AT&T syntax, but fbc doesn't have a backend for that.
