Re: Linux to MacOSX port effort.

[Scott Christley]

I've been using the stock cc and have been able to compile the misc 
directory and part of defobj so far.  Is there a specific reason why the 
new gcc needs to be used?

I'm taking a slightly different approach then maybe others, I'm using 
Apple's ProjectBuilder instead of the GNU configure/make sequence.  I 
will deal with configure changes after I get a better handle what source 
code changes are required.

One problem is Apple's preprocessor, I've had to specify 
-traditional-cpp so that it uses the GNU cpp.  The other issue are the 
two objc runtimes; I'm not sure how practical using the GNU runtime will 
be on OSX except for a purely X approach.  I'm still getting familiar 
with the guts of Swarm source code so that I can add code to use Apple's 
runtime.

cheers
Scott
