I recently ported my own engine over to Mac and since it just uses gnu compiler and gcc or g++, really if your code compiles on a Linux distro it will work fine on the Mac. Not sure if valve use Xcode IDE or make files... Hope they use Xcode since it's very simple.
On another note, if anyone is interested in making a hammer clone for Mac / Linux I would be interested in helping out. ~Ryan On Jul 12, 2010, at 4:33 PM, Harry Jeffery <harry101jeff...@googlemail.com> wrote: > I don't actually own a mac tbh.
