[sword-devel] Mac OS X/Darwin port

[nic]

Hmmm, well, I have 10.1 running here, and have just installed the 
macGimp package (www.macgimp.org for the 189Mb d/l, or .com if you want 
to order it on cd), and was wondering what extra things need to be 
installed/compiled in order to get gnomesword running?  true, a native 
frontend would be much better (hey, I love gnomesword, but I'd rather 
not have to run X to use it, cause, well, it's not as pretty as Aqua!), 
and so if you want some help at some stage let me know, so I can start 
learning the strange version of C that they use for OS X...  :)  or at 
least so I can look into this wxwindows thing...  :)
thanks for that wchar fix thingo...  will give it another go hopefully 
tomorrow, when I shall (again hopefully) have some spare time!
-- oh, I'm asking dumb questions, I know, but I figure I can ask here, 
rather than wait about a week before I next have some free time to play 
with it all (spent my last 'computer free time' getting gimp up and 
running, which I thought would be required before trying to get a gnome 
program -- gnomesword, running (for it's other packages that they both 
require))...  :)  and this way my time can perhaps/hopefully be more 
efficiently used!  :)
