Re: Swarm on MacOS X

[Jacobo Myerston]

swarm can be run on a mac with no problem if you install linux on it. A 
solution is an extra hardrive. Nevertheless I find that OSX could become 
a good platform for developing swarm models because  both swarm and osx 
have objectiv-c in common, and Apple provides very nice free apps to 
develop in objectiv-c. This  reason, beside the planet screensaver, can 
justified the porting of swarm to OSX. But, I think, we have to wait for 
the official release  of the new version of gcc  tcltk and blt that 
should support OSX.
