It is too early to say. We intend to make a version of Kaleidoscope for Mac OS X. However, unlike applications which can be Carbonized, low level hacks like Kaleidoscope need to be completely rewritten for Mac OS X.

The current version will not work on MAC OS X. Maybe at a later date, feel free to port it to objective C and make it work without running pygtk under X windows but otherwise there are no plans to port it in the near future (unfortunately) we want it running on OS X as well!

I am afraid that Apple's legal department does not want anyone distributing an Aqua scheme, so we will not post any such schemes on the Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive. Although Aqua schemes are probably available elsewhere on the web (please do not ask us for URLs), we ask that you respect Apple's right to control its intellectual property and not use these schemes with Kaleidoscope.

Sort-of. Doing so will likely violate The Mac OS X End User License. QEMU does not emulate X86 Mac hardware, however some people have reported success hacking OS X to run on regular PC hardware (ie. qemu).

the time of this writing, it doesn't completely work yet. Darwin/PPC does work. Note that this has the same legal issues as X86 OS X.

Check out the Q project: http://www.kju-app.org/kju/. I have tested it briefly, and it works well so far. It is in Alpha officially but feels more advanced than alpha to me. Alternatively Parallels is the mainstream proprietary software. Also works well, although is a RAM hog, especially with two guests. You can try the PDtweaker module for Unsanity's Application Enhancer to make it work smoother. I couldn't make APE work on 10.4.7 though.

DenyHosts should work under Mac OS/X. You will have to edit your denyhosts configuration file (typically denyhosts.cfg) according to the Mac OS X version that you are running:

We officially support the latest two releases of Mac OS X (that is, Mac OS 10.3 "Panther" and Mac OS 10.4 "Tiger" at the time of this writing). Official support means that we provide binary SDKs for these OS versions, and use them as internal development and testing platforms. Coin should also work on earlier Mac OS X versions (10.1 and upwards), but you have to build it yourself. (If you have some basic experience using the Terminal and configure/make, this should be straightforward.

Due to changes introduced late in Mac OS X 10.2 opening files via the File:Open menu command and dialog box is not possible. Mac OS X will terminate POV-Ray. As you may know, POV-Ray works flawlessly under Mac OS X 10.1.5 as well as Mac OS 8/9. The behavior in Mac OS X 10.2 appears to be a bug in this particular version of Mac OS X. We have contacted Apple to find out whether there is a workaround we can implement in POV-Ray or whether this requires a bugfix in Mac OS X provided by Apple.

The Mac OS X installer is asking for a username and password for an account on that computer that has administrator access. This proves that you have permission to install the software on that computer. This account is usually the account you use to log into that computer. If your computer is set up to log into an account automatically, you will need to know that password.

If your scanner does not come with an Image Capture compliant scanner drive, you could have a look at TWAIN-SANE. It creates a bridge between TWAIN and the Mac OS X image capture system, and it comes with hundreds of scanner drivers based on SANE, Linux' scanner driver framework. So there is a good chance that there's a driver for your scanner, too.

Many of the built-in text elements are specified in a ‘language pack’ file. These files are named ‘texts_xx.properties’ (where ‘xx’ is the two-character language code) and are located in the BluPlusPlus folder. Using a text editor, open the appropriate language pack file and find the line that reads ‘comment=Comment:’.

Pixelmator supports and uses many Mac OS X technologies, such as Core Image, Open GL, Automator, ColorSync, Dashboard, Spotlight, QuickTime, and many others. Pixelmator is built with a modern Mac OS X-only programming language called Cocoa.

The keyboard locale may change after sending a message based on the capabilites of the font being used. If the message font that you are using does not natively support the active keyboard locale, the keyboard locale will reset to the default locale for the font. The solution to the locale changing when you send a message is to select a different message font that supports the keyboard locale that you are using.

Yes, on Mac OS X 10.4.2, using fink versions of libtool 1.5.10, autoconf 2.59, and automake 1.9.4, Daniel Rogers has managed to compile Dia 0.94 under Mac. See this mail. It has not been reported to compile with any non-X port of Gtk2.

When an application is installed on OS X, prior to 10.4, it is usually "prebound" to speed up launching the application. (That's what the "Optimizing" phase of installation is.) Fink normally performs prebinding automatically when you install a package.

Mac OS X's Terminal maps Page Up and Down key to scroll the session but doesn't pass that key to the application. Also Apple's laptops don't even have a Page Up and Down keys at all. To get around this problem Zinc maps Control-W and Q keys as Page Up and Page Down respectively.

Launch the System Preferences. Click on Network. Show Built-in Ethernet. Click on Ethernet tab to display the Ethernet ID. Your System ID is your Ethernet ID which is 000a957bfde7 Install the Foundry License Manager then double click on FlicView in /Applications/TheFoundry/FoundryLicenseManager/

Not for the current version 3.3.4. However, since Mac OS X is essentially Unix, it is much more likely that we will be able to provide a proper port of the standard VNC codebase in a future release.

Mac OS X is the trademarked name of a computer operating system or OS. It is usually refered to as Mac (Maaac) OS (aaaah-S) 10 (ten). It is published by Apple Computer and is intended for use on Apple computers. This OS is fundamentally different from previous Mac OS's, in that it is UNIX based and has a different interface. Apple computer merged with a company called NeXT Computer in 1997. NeXTSTEP was the operating system written and sold by NeXT Computer since 1989.

The Inform compiler for OS X must be run through the Unix Terminal utility. If you double-click on its icon from a Finder window, nothing much happens: a Terminal window opens and runs the compiler without parameters, which triggers a "basic usage" message and ends up by stating that no compilation was requested. The compiler needs to be told which file to compile, and we must oblige by explicitely typing it. There are two ways to approach this problem.

I've installed Inkscape <0.44 on OS X Tiger (10.4) but nothing happens, the interface does not appear

If you find yourself unable to use Inkscape functions that require the ALT key (such as Node Sculpting) you will need to turn off the "Emulate three button mouse" under the Input Preferences for X11. If your locale charset is not UTF-8, then you need to have this environment variable set: $ G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 $ export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES This is necessary for Glib filename conversion from the locale charset to UTF-8 (used in SVG) and back to work. Read more details.

Microsoft Excel for Mac OS X is not currently supported. However, support is planned for the next release. SQL Converter 2 for Excel does work under Apple's Boot Camp, provided that you have a copy of Microsoft Excel for Windows.

On Mac OS X, all users have real-time privileges. No special tuning is required for real-time scheduling. But, OS X lacks POSIX support for locking pages into real memory. JACK will run without locking memory, but users should avoid running too many other applications when performing critical real-time tasks. If there is too much memory contention, the operating system might page out data needed for the time-critical process cycle, causing dropouts.

We've tested it successfully on OS X 10.3 and 10.4 with GCC 3.3 from Xcode 1.1 and GCC 3.3 or 4.0 from Xcode 2.3, respectively. We test with MySQL from the Fink project; we've used 4.1 successfully in the past, but now test with 5.0. You need to give the "--with-mysql=/sw" flag to the configure script so that it will find the MySQL headers and libraries. It's probably possible to get it to work on any Mac OS X version with GCC 3.x. We just don't happen to have any systems older than 10.
