There are also a lot of young people with MacBooks, who don't have money for ProTools, but they still probably have GarageBand installed. I think that we are a bit too small to jump for Mac now. However once we become somewhat competitive there, maybe it would be an option. On 22 Jan 2014 10:04, "

Probably - but I don't know. Most of the dependencies probably don't work/build on OS X out-of-the-box. That's why MacPorts exists. OS X != Linux/free operating system! -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud S

In defense of this I have only seen rumors about FL on mac, and having LMMS available which isnt a pain to work with and bug fix etc on mac is important as it fills the void of no FL studio. I am willing to work on this stuff. And I was not sure if we could script the dependency downloads. Sinc

Sorry, from a developer's perspective this doesn't make sense at all. We use Qt only and if a certain platform is not properly supported by Qt we can't add lots of compat code just to make LMMS run somehow (it's just not worth the effort and also adds complexity and leads to less maintainable code)

What I am wanting to achieve here is doing away with needing mac ports all together. The thing is that the latest versions of OSX have in a way migrated more to CLANG as the compiler. One thing that would help in getting a native mac build is adding all required libs into the repo. We would t

The only way is to find out. I can try take a look at things tomorrow. What I think we should really do is introduce OS checks into cmake that way it will know what SDK's to use in terms of apple etc. As well as windows and even linux. I think in time we can get it to where we can build for mac

It's been a while since I've seen any attention on this topic. Is there a likelyhood of building a version for Mac or is this and outlandish idea? I hunted down a mirror of LMMS for OSX, but after inspecting the package, it
