MacOS X

Does this stuff work on the Mac yet?

Cas :slight_smile:

Jeff is heading this project and I know he has a Powerbook… I excahnged a few messages at java.net before he went on vacation. It does not work on Mac OS X yet… but is only a matter of time.

I’ve given up waiting.

(1) Its not on mac yet.
(2) I’d really like to see it on Mac.
(3) We’ve already had interest from parties wanting to work on the ports. We’re organizing all of the community invovlement now.

Ah the wonders of open-source.

Realistically JOGL and JOAL should be fairly easy ports as OGL and OAL are already available. Jutils is pure Java and thus needs no porting. JInput needs the native layer ported which isnt all that big but someone needs to do it who understands controller discovery and polling on the Mac.

(I could probably figure it out as I’ve done some mac programming back in System 7 days. My issue right now is time as our whole JGI team is streatched fairly thin.)

I AM taking the responsability for fixing up the JInput ANT file to make it easy to add Mac to it. That will happen this week.

New ANT file is up!

This one will only build the windows plugin if you are executing under Windows.

Thats should make it nice and clean for those of you working on Mac to add a mac-plugin target into it that runs on the mac. (Copy what you see in init, all and windows_plugin targets. Should be very straight forward. Ask if you have questions.)
