[Retrocode-news] RetroCode works on Mac OSX

[Till T. <me...@mm...>]

Good news everyone - the CVS-version of RetroCode works on Mac OSX.  
However there are limitations: 
- retroMpeg codec has not yet successfully been compiled as we encountered
some issues with compiling the libraries it depends on - but that shouldn't
take long to solve 
- retroQualcomm will most likely never be working on that OS as the library
(qscl = Qualcomm's QCELP codec) is not available on that platform 
 
We are currently in the process of "autotoolizing" the RetroCode package,
until that is finalized you will have to compile it manually. To compile the
OSX version, simply overwrite "Makefile" with "Makefile.darwin" as found
within the CVS tree. 
 
For the OSX enthusiasts among you, I can only confirm that this OS really
rocks. To port RetroCode towards OSX, all that was actually needed was one
single platform specific code change (caused by that silly idea from Apple
to rename shared objects from ".so" to ".dylib"). The rest was changes in
the make-process caused by the platform specific linker on OSX.
