How's the Mac support? [message #48736]

So I spent the weekend doing a basic port of our 3 executable project, both GUI and command line to Linux. There is still a lot of work to be done, but it works as a beta.

But how is the U++ support on Mac? I've never used Mac. Can you compile C++ on it? Does U++ GUI work? Do you need some sort of X port or something like CYGWIN? Is there a CYGMAC?

Do we have any Mac users?

AFAIK X11 is sort of integral part of MacOS (rest is BSD POSIX anyway).

Thanks!

TBH, I was hopping for a "Works great! I use it all the time!", but this will do too Laughing

Hi Mirek,

X11 is not 'integrated' into MacOS. User needs to install it in order to have it. IMO that's not what we want as user experience - to install X11 to have our app.
