It has not worked since at least 1.6.0 . That's just a unix-like interface which won't address the issues the OP has/had with running/configuring asterisk. IMHO it would probably be even more challenging. And IIRC the OP was looking for a non emulated solution anyway. > Feel free to try to fix it. I suspect it won't be easy.

OS X is unix-like as well so I fail to see what help that could be in an endeavour to port asterisk. > And for others: the name is [MS-]Windows. Not 'wind-blows" or whatever > name you find for it.

You can't really expect to get away with that on a list devoted to an open source application without making a complete fool out of yourself. If it was a post regarding one of the many proprietary closed source applications/games without a native port to Linux/BSD/OS X then it would be a valid complaint. Having access to the source as well as liberal licensing terms which allow porting isn't a valid complaint and never will be.
