Default EQemu for OS X?
Would it be possible to compile EQemu for OSX and run it on that? I'm not a programmer, but I looked through some of the eqemu code, and I see a lot of calls to windows stuff (Winsock for example) so i'm not even sure how you guys are getting this to run in linux. Is there seperate linux source i'm not seeing? Would it be hard to modify to run on OSX?

No, the Win32/Linux specific code is bracketed by #ifdef WIN32 ... #else ... #endif so the right code is compiled depending on which platform you compile it on.

EQ on Mac has different Client->Server communication so it would probably have to be a completly different emulator. Or did you mean just the server for win comps?

C++ is wonderful.

Just the server. I know the client would not work (although I found a thread on another forum that mentions they got EQ running in linux without Wine, and will be working on getting it to work on OSX next).

Since the server runs on linux, i assumed it would be possible to compile it for OSX with little difficulty. Anyone have any input?

Mac OSX is based over FreeBSD. You should do a search upon this .

You'll also have Endian issues similar to those people encountered when trying it on the Sparc platform.
