Investing development time in MACOS 8,9 would be
useless.
A PPC Linux version should be done, then an OSX
adaptation won't be so difficult.
What is really wrong is that all Amiga user that would
like to have the SDK are waiting for a WarpOS SDK or
selling their Amiga for a PC :(
A new SDK should include Linux X86, Linux PPC,
Windows, WarPOS, ... With updates on the website for
other platforms.
After all the main point of Elate is to run on
multiple hardware or host OS. It should be also true
for the SDK.
I'am sure hundreds or thousands of Amigans would like
to participate to "the Dream" but for now they just
can not if they don't have a PC.
Regards, Christophe.
