Congratulations!  I had tried to compile something on my Mac a couple of
weeks back and completely gave up.

I am not a developer, just a user and would be very interested in a
version that ran directly on Mac-OS X.  It might get away from the one
or two very real problems with VARPC on Mac.

So I would like to think that RPCemu will continue to move in the
direction of becoming a real production machine.  To me the current
difficulties with RPCemu centre around these:

  Can you get networking going?  (This is possible on the LInux version
  but not, it seems, on the Windows version.)
  
  Any view of speed?  I reckon, under Linux, RPCemu is quite a bit
  slower than VARPC on the Mac, and VARPC on the Mac itself is rather
  slow on the disc access front.
