Hey guys a friend of mine who is a programmer posed a question to me about OSX. I dont know the answer so I'm wondering if any of you all do.
Heres the question...
"Does Mac OSX run Linux apps? I know that it's a Unix derivative, but I'm wanting to know if it's possible to run a Linux app in Mac OSX. This question arose because I'm trying to port some business-related apps that my department has written from the PC to Mac platform. These apps were written using Delphi, and I'm trying to avoid re-writing in a new language to do this. I can compile to a Linux executable from the same Delphi code using Borland Kylix, so if OSX runs Linux apps, this could be a solution."
