Any MacOS X plans?

Theoretically it should work on OSX because it can run linux apps. I
dont have a mac or access to one, so I could be wrong, but all you
would need I think is (preferrably the unix/linux versions of) ruby
and
ruby-gtk2 (libglade and gtk2)

As I’ve mentioned in a previous thread, it does work under OS X. You
have to do a bit of a song and dance, and run it under X, but it does
work.

Okay, so running Mr. Guid on Cygwin turned out to be a flop. I can
debug remotely, but not locally for reasons I didn’t bother trying to
figure out. It just didn’t work. I had a hell of a time setting up
Cygwin after it said fonts weren’t installed, and to find out that
users have to install over 400MB of Cygwin stuff (minimally) before Mr.
Guid would run is a bit rediculous. If a working Cygwin is already
installed, that’s fine, but installing Cygwin just to run Mr. Guid is
overdoing it.

So as far as the windows version is concerned, I’m pretty much open to
anything that would work right now. The Linux version has been rock
solid so far.
