mac applications in *nix


Recommended Posts

because the macos* operating systems are based on unix, would it b possible to run mac applications on *nix??? if not, is there a way to decompile and recompile the applications to run in *nix?

Nope and nope. MacOS might have a unix core, but that doesn't mean that Mac apps will work on Linux. MacOS is heavily modified and I don't believe it uses apps the same way linux does. I've never heard of a way to decompile apps.

Technically you CAN run max os X applications in Linux using MOL (mac on linux) - of course you will require a Macintosh to run that. I'm wiling to bet the OP is running an x86 based computer so that leaves him/her SOL.

You could run Mac OS 8.1 and earlier using basilik II (spelling?). It emulates the early 68030 and earliear macintosh computers reasonably well. I don't know how usefull this is being that most mac software written in the lat 5 years won't work.

A link would be useful for the guy asking, MxxCon.
