[Parti-discuss] mac osx support (and probably others)

[Antoine Martin]

Hi,

I was doing some testing on Mac OSX and I thought I would see if xpra 
ran on it.

It was surprisingly easy to get it going.
The client "just works"! (if you can be bothered installing all the 
required dependencies via macports)

For the server, the only change required is to replace "/proc/self/fd" 
with "/dev/fd" in xpra/scripts/server.py

Maybe we should be using "/dev/fd" as a more portable way to get to the 
fds? This works on all the Linux distros I have access to and on Mac OSX 
(will try Solaris / FreeBSD next time I am on one of those test systems)

Now, admittedly that does not really give you a functional xpra...
It works for xlogo, but xcalc looks all mangled up...
And the keyboard does not work at all (xterm looks ok though):

Packaging it will be left as an exercise... or torture, depending on how 
you look at it ;)

Cheers

PS: Nathaniel, I will take a look at your win32 socket code as soon as I 
can (...)
