[Ham-Mac] Mac Software? ? ?

[Tom Dove]

Jacob,

Many Linux programs are easy to port over to Apple X11 on Mac OSX, but 
some can be tough. If WSJT uses sound I/O on Windows, it will have a 
soundcard.h file that's specific to the Windows system. Apple X11 on 
Mac OSX uses esound, instead (the file will be esd.h). Since many Linux 
programs can be compiled to use esound, the porting may not be too 
difficult; everything depends on the specific program. In DarwinPSK, 
for example, Volker had to rewrite everything to use esound for sound 
I/O, but that works fine on Linux now, too.
