What's the status on using Mac Carbon APIs? Is there a set of translated declaration files I can use? I've been working on this MinWin thing and I've been writing the Windows, Motif and GTK backends at the same time and I think I want to include Mac if possible so that I don't fundamentally mess up the architecture. I'd like to use as much of the new OS X features as possible - like Quartz etc.

I guess I'll also need any Mac-specific pointers on using gdc. Is there a mac-faq or should I just use the newsgroup history?

I got the "Hello World" up for Mac OS X, using Carbon and GDC:

Right now, it has all of <Carbon/Carbon.h> in a single macosx.carbon

It could be split into several modules, if the module grows too much...


You can use Quartz and so from Carbon, without messing with Objective-C.

I really don't think that one needs *everything* from Carbon.framework ?


Will do a Xcode Howto, and perhaps port a few more functions if needed.
