I'd love to use the gnucula codec. But I'd need a client,
which runs at least for 2h and works (I don't have
problems with interface glitches, but the core needs to
work).
Sorry for not responding earlier. I rarely check these
trackers, as they're usually empty.
I hate to bring you bad news, but it is unlikely that
there will ever be a client for mac produced by this
project. (or any client, for that matter.) This project is
solely concerned with porting gnucDNA *nix systems. Though
functionality should be similar on mac osx, this is only a
library, which others could then use to write their
client.
There are a number of options open to mac users, however. http://homepage.mac.com/macgnutella is down, but used to
be a really good site for information. Three options I can
think of:
1) use mactella. (As far as I know, the code is old and
unsupported, but it may work.)
2) use a java based client. (Slow, but they should work.)
3) Compile and use gtk-gnutella. (This one will take a bit
of learning, but will get you the best client possible at
present.)
Compiling gtk-g will require installing gtk 1 or 2 and
glib libraries (and a few others, if you need
internationaliztion). You'll also want to install libxml
version 2.5, as it uses that for persisting searches and
filters, and zlib for stream compression. (You may already
have some of these; I don't know mac very well.)
Once you have the required lib.s, compiling is easy. run
the Configure script then run 'make install' to install
it. Though Configure will ask you a _lot_ of questions you
won't know the answer to, accepting the defaults will work
most places. As far as I know, the only thing you must
specify is to use *.dynlib files and not *.so. (The
question is something like, "what extension for shared
object libraries?".)
Well, I wish you luck getting a working client (btw,
uptimes of 50 days have been reported with gtk-gnutella).
I'll leave this tracker item open as a reminder to myself
and future dev.s, as this is something that has been
requested a lot; maybe someone will create an interface
for mac at some point...
Regards,
riot138
PS. if you need help installing gtk-g, log into
freenode.net and join #gtk-gnutella. (They/we would be
happy to talk you through it.)

*.dynlib files and not *.so
I will see, if that gets me running. Thanks!
