So no port for Mac OS X in sight? No X doesn't count.

I don't have a Mac, so unless someone else wants to do it (probably best to wait until the Windows version is more complete though, so you don't have to keep up with my changing my mind every other day), then no.

A couple years ago, someone from the ng contributed a Cocoa port of simpledisplay.d to me, and it is now in that file, but I can't actually test it myself so it is unlikely to even compile now with the other changes to the file.


Here's something you might be able to help with though: what keywords would get me search results for an acceptable but cheap Mac for this kind of thing? I don't even know what version D works best with, and don't have a lot of money to spend on another computer right now. But if I can get a used one for like a hundred bucks on ebay or something, I'll do it and then maintain the port myself.

Depending on where you're based and how you feel about breaking unenforceable EULAs, just buy an OS X install disk/usb and go here and DIY: http://www.tonymacx86.com/home.php

If I recall correctly it's possibly to run Mac OS X in VMware 4, without any hacks. Apparently they forgot to add the limitation that you can only run Mac OS X as a guest system on an actual Mac.

I have no direct interest in doing it, more of a general question because developers often forget about Mac OS X, at least here.
