Hi!
When will we get Code::Blocks for Mac OS X?
BigAngryDog:
I've been a Windows user for a long time. However, the way I see it, the long term future of Windows in no longer guaranteed.
Therefore, giving effort to supporting C::B on Mac OS X in the future would be good thing.
I am currently writing code on HP-UX - using the VI editor! My guess is that C::B would be widely adopted within industry if it were to be supported on HP-UX/Solaris.

I'd fully agree on that point. In industry and research such systems are really common. And admins of those often stick with vi because there is no other (better) solution. Unfortunately I have no login to any of the HP-UX/Solaris servers at work, otherwise I'd try to compile C::B there "immediately". However: I wonder if wxWidgets is supported on these platforms... I should have a look...

Sorry, that I haven't answered this is my previous post.
AFAIK the core devs don't have MAC's, otherwise I'd say it would already be possible. A MAC isn't something you just buy, this is a matter of money. So it's hard to develop for a platform you don't have. If people like to have support for the MAC, there is a possibility to donate money for C::B which would certainly help to buy a MAC... ;-)
With regards, Morten.

A Mac-mini is not all that expensive, it starts at $600.
And it runs native WinXP as well (fast), so it would not have to be dedicated to this project only.
