thanks! -- well I got the thing upgraded to 10.6.4 and managed to install Xcode 3.1 last night; which after doing some googling, etc. looks like much of the gnu toolchain is there. :-)
I'm kind of in agreement with Robert regarding the keep-it-simple-stupid for rebuilding the main applications (at least I know how to deal with makefiles). But I'm thinking students might like to write within an IDE (not knowing *anything* about Xcode yet) especially if it can help guide and correct syntax related problems. cheers,t On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 2:57 AM, Stephan Huber <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > Am 08.12.10 03:28, schrieb Ted Morris: > > Hi, > > > > I'm a complete newbie with Macs, but I am charged with the task of > porting some apps that ran on Win32/64 on the Mac.
