When will we get Code::Blocks for Mac OS X?

I didn't mean to say a MAC is expensive. All I wanted to point out is that unfortunately the devs don't have a MAC (currently) which makes developement for MAC difficult. I would love to see a MAC version, too. IMHO this would be the first serious IDE which is available for Windows, Linux and MAC then. There are some trials running (search the forum for MAC support) but this isn't very robust yet.
With regards, Morten.

For the time being, the only builds for MacOS have to be supplied by the community. The same goes for any compatibility fixes, sorry.
While we attempt to write code that has a chance to compile without too much pain, we really cannot tell, as we have no Apple machines around.
Buying a Macintosh is not an option at this time, however donations to the Code::Blocks project are always welcome. :)

Wow, C:B devs and everyone involved should be thanked and praised as Gods... especially if they can get a multi-platform IDE on all 3 major systems.
Seriously, that'd blow my mind. Where else can you find that?!

A friend of mine for many years is the CIS teacher at the local joint JrHigh / HighSchool. The school insists on ONLY having Macs for student use. I believe they only have one Win98 computer in the entire building and thats for library use only. She asks me nearly every year if i've found any software to help her programming class to get a real world experience, namely something that is uniform on Mac and additionally either Win or Linux. If C::B ever becomes OSX compatible (or if someone can give me fine grain instructions on how to set it up on a mac, i have little mac experience) you would have a couple thousand students experimenting on occasion with CB and wxWidgets.
Pecan:
There is a usable older version of CodeBlocks for the Mac at
http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/codeblocks-rev2411_macppc.zip
built by contributor afb. It's in bundle (.app) form. It does not include any contribs or scripting, but works.
I'm currently working on the contribs, and a .cbp to include the squirrel scripting environment.
This version is not ready for prime time. But it's there, and can be used to even compile the current svn. (as soon as I update the cbp)
