As per the front page of the project: "Notepad++ is a generic source code editor (it tries to be anyway) and Notepad replacement written in c++ with win32 API."
Because of the use of Win32 API's, unless you run it with a Windows emulator it just won't work under a Mac OS

Does anybody know how to get working Notepad++ in Mac OSX?

I'm using Notepad++ on Leopard via Crossover. It seems fine, just slow startup.
Anyway I would really like to see native Mac version of Notepad++. It's simply the best.
I've been using Notepad++ from USB in linux for a while now. Try Googling PortableApps and install it onto a USB drive then install Notepad++ on that.
