Question Half-Life Dedicated Server

Howdi.

I know there's something called "hlds" (Half-Life Dedicated Server) which can be downloaded from various sites, this is a freeware application by Valve for all Linux users.

Now I wonder, since it's distrobuted as a i386+ binary (?), It cant be run in OSX.

but, If you had the sourcecode for HLds, could you compile it for OSX and get it to run with a G3/G4 processor?

Hmm, you give up too easily. Don't just go with the rest of them and go PC. Stick up for the Mac, and maybe we'd get more games than are coming now. Besides, all of the good ones are coming.

Yes, the good games are coming, but I'm not rich :-(


That's why I bought my PC...It's cheap and does the job.
