Porting Unix/Linux Games to Mac Os X

[ApplejustWorks]

I have this game called Pingus(Free Lemmings) on my Linux box, and would really like to get it on Os X. Is it possible to port it to Os X, since OS X is Unix?

Yes, i just made a post about this... http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8944 ... You will need to google a tutorial for this, it is much to hard for me to explain. If the program is small enough though you can ask somebody to do it for you and then send it to you.

Well the program should be relativeley small...it's called Pingus(Free Lemmings)

FreeBSD and OS X has built in Linux binary compatibility mode. You can run ELF compiled Linux blinaries and libraries as if it was BSD native binary. Isn't it great? Why don't you just download Linux version and try to run it. You probably need to download a few more libraries to satisfy the linkage, but other than that it should be pretty straightforward.

Sorry

I don't mean to be annoying, but I'm really interested in playing Pingus on my mac. I have no clue *** to port apps from Linux, but I want to know if anyone else will do it for me (and everyone else who wants it)

just curious
