The Impact of Mactel

[akay]

Hello, sorry for the pauverty of my english, i\'m french, and i\'ll do all i can !


I wonder, what be the impact of the macintosh running on intel processor on the project Planeshift. Would it be easier or harder to port the client on Mac OS X, or may the team prefer keep only the Windows version, and ask for user to use an emulator like Wine....

Hello Akay
Don\'t feel sorry about your English - I\'m Danish, and as long as we do the best we can, who have the right to complain.

What I have read until now, it should become easier to make the mac-versions when the change to Intel come (1 year or more from now), because of Apple\'s developer/conversion tools. But I like to hear what Daniel Fryers opion is to that subject. After all he\'s the real expert in that area - and he do a hell of a good job.

The impact will be negligible, one way or the other.  There may be some intel-specific tricks that we can get out of CS, but the only real difference to us is \"endianness\" and the code is set up to automatically handle that.

Definitely not running it in Wine!
