With Visual Studio now free (as in beer) for small teams and open source projects, that takes away one major reason to keep using MinGW. Yes Visual Studio is a much larger beast than any command-line compiler, but it's pretty nice to use. Mike Erwin musician, naturalist, pixel pusher, hacker

Hi Thomas, For the Mac requirements OS 10.6 should* work now and for the rest of the Blender 2.7x line. Blender 2.8 will require OS 10.7 but let's hope those people have upgraded to 10.8 or 10.9 by now, for their sake. -- Mike *should means GHOST doesn't use newer APIs last time I checked.
