Re: (clug-talk) (OT) Half-life server for linux

Yes, I was just remarking that the possibility is still there that a 
Windows OS can be loaded on a Mac system.  Something which wasn't even 
consider possible not too many years ago.  There was Mac and there was 
Windows.  Nothing else for the home user.  Now *in therory* it is 
possible to have all 3 on the same machine.  Now I wonder what would be 
involved to getting a MacOS emulated on an x86 system. :-P Alot of 
thinking out loud.  Not to be taken seriously.

Kinda makes those newbie questions as a tech. support "Can I upgrade 
my MacOS to Windows?" not so dumb anymore.  Ick.

I don't see why you couldn't compile wine on a Mac.  Assuming of 
course that the wine source is not too archetectural dependant on the 
x86 system.


The problem is that the programs are compiled for x86 so even if you 
had the APIs compiled for the MAC a windows program wouldn't run. You 
need to run an emulator.
