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

I've talked with Andreas (the author of AngelScript), and so he started to use the SourceForge.net Compile Farm.

Except that the compile farm does not work for our purpose, Takeshi.

Well, you said "We presently don't have the possibility to compile or test anything for MacOS at all"
which isn't true: we can compile there.
As far as testing goes... I guess only automated unit testing (for both GUI and non-GUI code) can be used.
The chance to being able to compile on a remote MacOS anyday should not be underappreciated.

isn't it possible to install a Mac OS X on a VMware.
if i would have an OS X i could test this.

It is possible, but not legal :)
It is even possible to dual boot in any x86 with SSE2/SSE3, but it's not legal either. :P
In any case, for educational purposes, you can read more at the "OSx86 Project Wiki".

I guess that would be:
Custom --> Other --> Other 64-Bit Unknown :lol:
Apart from being unsure if it would work at all, the problem is where to get Mac OS X from (legally). The Darwin kernel may be one thing, but I think the bit that's called "Mac OS" is really pretty darn proprietary.
I've read that there are "hacks" to make Mac OS work on normal PCs, too (but I did not find anything really useful). Also, I strongly believe that applying such a hack is still considered vile illegal even if you own a legal copy of Mac OS.
If there is a way to get Mac OS X legally installed in a normal partition on a normal 64-bit PC, then please point me to it, I'll do it tomorrow.
