Hi René,

dwindows has not been fully ported to OSX and so I have not been able to port Rexx/DW to OSX either. The cross-platform comment I made refered to Windows/Linux/OS2 as ported platforms.  I'd be happy if someone could investigate finishing the dwindows port to OSX ;-)
The errors above actually indicate an error compiling the ooRexx header files not the Rexx/DW code. I do not get these errors when I try and build Rexx/DW with Regina.
Just yesterday I ironed out the compilation errors with Rexx/DW built with Regina on OSX, but because the underlying dwindows doesn't really implement much functionality, neither does Rexx/DW.

Cheers, Mark
