As a result, the last truly free version of XFree86 is 4.3, which is the code that Apple's X11 1.0 is based on.
X.org was founded around the same timeframe to step into the void left by the XFree86 project's implosion, and they now develop the official reference implementation (currently X.Org X11R6.8.1). Likely, in the future, apple's X11 will be based on the X.Org code.ĭisclaimer: I am a developer for Mac OS X and a founder of the NeoOffice project. I happily noticed this myself earlier on in the week and was impressed to find the related section. Unfortunately there are some inaccuracies in the section, but I couldn't find any address to which corrections should be submitted. Perhaps the most major omission is that the Mac OS X (X11) installer is not limited to 10.3 only. For 10.2 users it also will automatically install XFree86 and a window manager if the system does not have XFree86 on it. Since Apple X11 is not redistributable under its license, 10.3 users are required ot manually install Apple X11. Ironically, that makes installation on 10.3 more inconvenient then 10.2! OPENOFFICE MAC OS 10.3 INSTALL On the trinity forums Smokey also noticed the file format "incompatibility" line in the article. It isn't actually true since is 100% compatible with StarOffice which, last I checked, is a commercial office suite even if it doesn't run on Mac OS X :)Įven with the little foibles, it's great to see support from Apple for X11 applications in general as well as a basic introduction that can help open up the entire world of X11 OSS applications for users, not just. I've done this sort of thing before - had to have things that run under linux, Irix, SunOS, and windows.
It's not really hard as long as you start out with the idea that things are going to be system-dependent. I had directories with Makefiles in that called directories (some ours, some 3rd-party) Makefiles etc.
You just need to put the thought in ahead of time.
