porting to Mac OS X

Hi.

Irrlicht is portable or compatible for Mac OS X, with Opengl?

OS X runs over FreeBSD, similar to Linux,
and Ogre for example as been ported yet.

I can try to port the engine for Mac, if it is possible.

thanks

Personally, I would appreciate any attempt to port it to OSX. Niko stated that he does not have access to a Mac, so you might give it a try. One thing to keep in mind is that the engine is still in an early development stage and things might change very quickly, so a port needs a lot of maintenance.

Cheers.

That's right. Would be a lot to do. But if you like, port it, would be cool!

My english is very poor sorry again.

I think the engine have a great future. And i can colaborate with other users to port it to Mac.

Engine doestn compile directly in MacOS X? OpenGL port of course.

Noone tried yet, afaik, as we don't have any Mac users here (?). Just try yourself.
