I threw everything into an Xcode project and took awhile to stub out all the missing functions so it would compile and link. I misunderstood which core files I needed to compile in src/, so I ended up compiling them all and stubbing all the functions. I added a small test program so I can try to test little things while I work in Xcode. The repo is here: https://github.com/ewmailing/IupCocoa So now I need to make it actually do something. I was thinking creating a window and showing it would be nice. But is that too soon since a dialog requires something to go inside it? Also, just a thought. To start with, this is going to be a very small port with a very small surface area touching Cocoa. Since you have trouble getting Mac access, one idea is you can try GNUStep with the modern Obj-C (2.0) provided by Clang. I don't have any direct experience with GNUStep but I heard a claim that it works now with most of the latest Obj-C features. With the exception of menus, I think most of the Cocoa stuff we'll be looking at will be general Cocoa and not Mac specific. (I could be totally wrong though since I don't have GNUStep experience.)
