Ported to Mac Os x?
Sorry guys, this has probably been asked before but my search results arent turning up anything useful.
I notice that there is a linux port. As OS X is now built on BSD does this mean the linux ports work on mac? (or has anyone done a full port to OSX).

Thanks
Paul

Note that the Linux ports are not "full" ports - essentially, they can only be used as crosscompilers. You still can't create installers for Linux with NSIS.

You can always try downloading the source and SCons and see if it'll build for you. I would think it's possible, though you may need to provide EXE stubs from a precompiled source.

It'll probably build, but it won't work. There are endianity problems.

It's already mentioned in appendix G of the documentation. But the FAQ is on the Wiki now, so anyone can add questions. Just put your new page in the appropriate category. For example:
