I can't find if anyone else has asked this question already and I can't find any answers on other sites/forums... so... with Steam for Mac on its way, will Goldeneye be coming along with it? I assume that it will because it is built on Orangebox, but I really have no idea. Please, please, please I'm dying to know if I'll be able to play the greatest mod of all time on my mac.

Can't tell you how much fun this mod is. My friends and I have set up a server and often play a few nights a week with about a dozen other players joining in. Thanks developers.

If we get the compiling tools for the Mac, then yeah because it would just be a matter of compiling the mod twice.

[Mangley]

An exciting prospect. Whilst I don't give two sausages for Macs... it would be great to see GE:S available on Mac OS. I imagine not many mods will actually bother with it. Only the real professional ones.

Though I'm sure it will be many months before the Mac tools are available from Valve.

Thanks guys!

Well from Valve's News Release it appears the tools may already be available - (http://www.valvesoftware.com/news.php) -

"... Support for the Mac in Source and Steamworks is available to third parties immediately. Interested developers should contact Jason Holtman at jasonh@valvesoftware.com."

Jonathon please let me know if there is anything I can do to help bring GE:S to Mac. I'm no developer, but I'd be happy to help in whatever way I can.

If anyone sends me the latest and fastest Apple laptop I will gladly make sure GE:S runs on mac.

According to Valve (on their programmers listserve) they will be releasing an Apple SDK soon after the release of the official games. It has left to be said how drastic of a change is needed (if any).

You'll need the Apple version of Visual C++, won't you?

[killermonkey]

LOL.

Good point. They'll most likely use the same method they use in Linux. They have a .vcproj -> makefile and use g++/gcc to take care of the rest. Since OSX is Unix in disguise they can go the same route.

[Mark [lodle]]

Dw. I got a mac book pro and as soon as I can there will be a mac version

[VC]

Why not just use g++/gcc the whole way? Then I could contribute for a change.

[Mark [lodle]]

They do, xcode is just a nice face for g++/gcc and apple do a lot of development for it as well.

If GES makes it to Mac, I will be forever great full and will never need my PC again!  Thats right, I only use my PC for GES!

Not to be confused with mac but has anyone tried wind doors for Linux it adapts Linux with some of windows programing kinda like running windows in Linux I am trying it in Linux. not working well but its progressing. If it helps the name of the distribution I use is PC-Linux-OS. its also a server edition

[Jonathon [SSL]]

There's also this nifty package called WINE that runs windows programs under many commonly used Linux Distributions. I got Steam running under WINE on an Ubuntu 6 install a few years ago.

having problems runing ges on newer linux i guess but im still learning linux as well

Just reviving this thread because Steam for mac is supposedly supposed to come out very soon, within a few days from what I've heard. I was wondering if any more work had been done yet to get GE:S over to the Mac. The only reason that I care is that I'm a pretty dedicated GE:S player and I'd like to get my GF in on the action as well but she only has a macbook. D= We have been waiting for this day to come for a while and I'm really hoping she will be able to join me soon. =P

EDIT: Actually I guess it came out today. =O
