Hello,
I am anundergraduate, non-CS major. I am interested in learning how to port or help port apps written in linux and any of the unix variants to run natively in Mac OS X. By this I mean take whatever the orginal programmer has written and make it into a a double-clickabble package that someone can install easily and then double click on an icon to launch a GUI, just like a native app. Could someone tell me the things I need to learn in order to do this? It would be most helpful if people could provide both the "fields of expertise" I need to learn and specific sources (books, but links to tutorials especially since I am poor) I hope to be able to benefit the OS X community by helping to port more apps to native OS X faster. As far as my current skills go. I under stand using OS X pretty well but not really even X11 or anything deeper than that. Thanks all,
Joe Bolte
