I chime in here to say that's exactly what I have been doing. Actually
what I do is run the Studio on Parallels/Windows XP, and the server on
Mac OS X on the same machine for development. We can connect via JDBC
with the server (on Mac OS X) with no problem. (We do it this way
because for some bizarre reason the Windows server stopped being able
to communicate via JDBC months ago (probably after some Windows XP
patch) and we've had to abandon using that. At any rate, this hybrid
system works a treat, and I can definitely recommend it.

I have been on mac intel hardware from day one, and can tell you its
not even worth the effort. Buy VMWare and use that with a special
windows xp install just for witango studio. VMWare is faster and
more stable, I own both.
If you are using leopard, you can use SPACES to your benefit. Have a
space with VMWare xp in full screen and switch to it when working in
witango studio. There are so MANY reasons to NOT use the mac dev
studio, intel hardware is only one of them.

Greetings. I've a need to run Witango Dev Studio and App Server on
Apple Intel hardware booting system 10.4.11. I gather the
Development Studio can't talk to the Java VM on intel hardware
because it (Dev Studio) runs in the Rosetta environment, so JDBC is
out. But although I can see a MySQL dsn that ODBC Administrator
claims works (via the MyODBC Test button), when I try to use that
dsn from Dev Studio it fails with the msg
Unable to connect to the data source ...
Verify that the data source is properly configured and that the
database server is online
I've also been unable to connect to Sybase Anywhere 10.0.1 either,
though there the error message informs me that libodbc.dylib can't
be loaded, which doesn't surprise me as there is no file by that
name on my machine. (Though I do wonder why, given that I'm doing
this on a fresh system with Sybase newly installed, so I'd think
all the necessary files would be present...)
Before I pour more time into this, I'd be grateful if someone could
confirm for me that Witango Development Studio 5.5.08 *can* connect
via ODBC to *something* when running on Intel hardware and System
10.4.11 (or failing that, 10.5), preferably to any of MySQL 5.0,
Sybase Anywhere 10, or FileMaker 8/9.
The particular Intel hardware I'm developing on is a 3 GHz Mac Pro,
though the student lab environment I'm targeting is / will be
equipped with iMacs, and I'm using the lite version of Witango
Thanks.

PS - and is there any public time frame for the release of Witango
6? :-)
