Re: [cdt-dev] Interested in supporting OS X

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bryan,

Porting the CDT isn't a big deal, especially for Unix-like platforms like 
OS X. There are a couple of small DLLs that would, at least, need to be 
copied from one of the existing ports and recompiled. If there are API 
incompatibilities, then you'll need to make some code changes. The DLLs 
generally deal with interactions with external tools like the debugger and 
builds using ptys and process control functions. If you have detailed 
questions, this is the right list to send them.

Once you have everything working, it's a simple matter of zipping up the 
projects and sending them to the cdt-patch list. We'll (IBMers or QNXers) 
make sure they get checked into CVS and included in builds.

I hope you take this on. I have a G5 on order and will be happy to help 
exercise your work.

Cheers,
Doug Schaefer, Senior Software Developer
IBM Rational Software, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

[cdt-dev] Interested in supporting OS X






I may be interested in supporting OS X.  Can anyone tell me what would 
be involved, how to get started, and  give me an idea of how much time 
it would take?  I will also need some help from the IBM'ers on getting 
permission from IBM to release my code if I decide to do this.

Bryan
