RE: Mac Builds - sphinxc0re - 02-15-2015
That would be awesome although the development would be getting much more difficult than before, wouldn't it?
RE: Mac Builds - xoft - 02-15-2015
Why would it? We already write code that works on both Windows and Linux, and it worked on Mac a few months back; there should be very little or no problems at all adding the builds.
RE: Mac Builds - sphinxc0re - 02-15-2015
But aren't the architectures of Mac OS and Linux a little different?
RE: Mac Builds - xoft - 02-15-2015
Not as much as Linux vs Windows.
RE: Mac Builds - sphinxc0re - 02-16-2015
Okay. But are you sure that you are able to run this service for ever?
RE: Mac Builds - xoft - 02-16-2015
Even worse, my company is rather paranoid about access to its networks - imagine the bad press if source code to a virus scanner leaked - so I don't think I will be able to even start it there.
So it got me thinking if it was possible to install OS X under a VirtualBox - I could keep an instance running on my home server. It seems that this is possible, but it means a lot of hackery; my initial attempt has failed; perhaps someone else might be more successful.

Here is a tutorial for setting up a OS X based vagrant box:

I installed this one on my PC for development:

RE: Mac Builds - xoft - 02-21-2015
I tried installing Niresh into virtualbox, but it wouldn't get past the initial text-mode boot menu. Also, I'm not too happy about using a pirated OS, those are quite likely to have malware in them.

I used to have a fully working Mac OSX 10.9 Virtualbox instance, but I wiped my drive a few days ago and put Ubuntu on it.
