Apple's Unix Porting Guide
hysterion writes "Just came across the nice Unix Porting Guide (pdf) posted by Apple earlier this month. Topics include NetInfo, using Project Builder with gnumake, autoconf, XFree86, Tcl/Tk, Qt ... it is a bit short on scripting languages, and they speak as if KDE were already ported, but other than that I found it an informative read." They also didn't mention fink, and they put "Unix" in all caps. However, they were honest about the shell scripting limitations of AppleScript, although they didn't mention that AppleScript -- especially via osascript -- is pretty buggy in Mac OS X right now (this is my annoyance of the week, so allow me to indulge myself).
Aaaah! My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!
I'm sorry, but compared to OS X, KDE is just soooo ugly and out of place. I appreciate that there might... possibly... be... functionality one could get with KDE ported apps, but X11-based apps still look like they took second place in an ugly contest.

Good luck compiling all that "linux code" on XP...jackass...
It's too bad some people don't have a sense of humor, can't laugh at themselves - I found the parent post to be sarcastically funny - it's obviously not a true story - and it's actually a pretty good troll....
