Richard,
we can't. Darwin engine is the (sad) way to go. Don't know why but at least
for me,the intel engine does not work as a CGI engine. I've tried the
standalone engine too but that fails even worse.
we need new darwin and linux engines...
There are two things I don't understand with this:
1. In the olden days the only BSD we had was for Intel PCs, and the
complaint was that we needed PPC. Now times have changed and what we
need is Intel. Why can't we use the old Intel one on Intel Macs? What
part of BSD for Intel did Apple cripple so that apps written for BSD on
Intel won't run if the Intel machine running BSD happens to be a Mac?
Or can we?
2. If other non-Darwin apps like SuperCard can be used as CGIs on Macs,
and Rev standalones can be use used as CGIs on every other platform, why
can't we just use OS X runtimes or standalones on OS X rather than
limit it to Darwin?
Extra bonus points:
- Is this Darwin requirement just Yet Another Apple Funkiness, or is
this a limitation with Rev in which they could theoretically make an OS
X runtime which could be used as a CGI without needing to limit this to
Darwin?
- If Apache on OS X is limited to Darwin, what's the point?
Specifically, why pay Apple prices for hardware if all you want to do is
run BSD, which can be run on any generic box?*
- What known bugs exist with relying on Rosetta, and roughly how much of
a performance loss comes into play from doing so?
Thanks in advance for enlightening me on this strange issue -
*Or better yet, use hosting like Dreamhost where you get a Linux server
preconfigured for running Rev CGI, 162 GB space, automated nightly
backups, on-site generators, and an army of nerds staring at the server
farm 24/7, all for just $9.95 a month. How many people really saddle
themselves with hosting their own hardware theses days? On what, DSL? ;)
