I've really gotten into warcraft 3 lately, and am trying to set up a bot to manage hosting in the game. Ghost++ is the bot I am trying to set up, but its only available for windows and linux. I set up a linux program in Mac OS X a while ago, but I can't remember how I did it other than using X11 and the terminal. Is there even a way to do this?
Got a tip for us?

Running Linux Programs within Mac OS X?

You can't run Linux programs on OS X, but since the two operating systems have some similarities, it's possible to get the source code for certain apps to compile on OS X. The amount of work required ranges from "none" to "a lot" depending on how cross-platform it was written, and some other factors. So the first step is to get the source code. If it's not available, then you're out of luck unless you want to run Linux in a virtual machine or something.

I just checked it out and most of the code compiles fine but some things need to be edited and I'm missing a library so it couldn't finish.

According to the wiki, it doesn't run on OS X

It runs on Linux!, on Windows too and also on FreeBSD! It can't run on Mac OS X right now =(

The code itself says otherwise. A few alterations and it'll probably work. It also looks like they've coded a Carbon GUI.
Now where was that Xcode project found? I just used the makefile.
