Sorry about that. There was an "#include <wchar.h>" line in one of the files that shouldn't have been there. That was the only thing preventing the current cvs from compiling on Mac OS X. I'm using OS X 10.0.4, not 10.1 yet, but my check is in the mail to Apple for their $20 "free upgrade" so I'll be able to confirm that we comile on X.1 in a week or so. > and on another note: has anyone looked into a frontend for > mac os x? > I'm thinking of trying to get gnome somehow on this, or at least the > parts required for gnomesword, otherwise perhaps it would be a cool > programming challenge (I've never done mac programming > before) to wack > something together... :) My plan was to do a wxWindows (www.wxwindows.org) front-end from scratch. Well, I'll probably try to port BibleCS to wxWindows as well as I can. wxWindows is a toolkit that will run on Windows, Mac, GTK+, Motif, and others. That will serve Mac & possibly OS/2 & BeOS (through the GTK ports to those OSes). Plus we'll have yet another front-end that could run on Linux & Win32. If you could get GNOME running on Mac OS X, you would forever have my respect & admiration. I know the GNU-Darwin folks have parts of GTK+ & GNOME ported, but I don't think it's enough to run GnomeSword yet. I don't see forcing users to install GNU-Darwin as a viable alternative to a native Mac OS X front-end though. Plus I'd like to get Sword running on Mac Classic (which rules this & Qt out, but not wxWindows). As an aside... isn't it pathetic that TrollTech, a commercial developer, couldn't get Qt ported to Mac Classic, but wxWindows, a free software competitor, already has? --Chris
