Correct, there is code that will only be used on when the system is an Apple (Mac). However, Mac specific code, such as ObjC code is not allowed per Alexandre. James McKenzie

Huh? This statement is nonsensical. You mean objective C is not allowed in Wine. Neither is C++. It happens that the only platform on which there might be some reason to write objective C is the Mac, but it's got nothing to do with the Mac, and it's also beside the point of the original question. --Juan

At the risk of getting even more off topic, Objective-C is one of gcc's dialects and works on Linux and *BSD just as fine as on Mac OS X. MarKus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing. Markus Hitter http://www.jump-ing.de/

Yes, I know, and so is C++. Nevertheless, neither is allowed in Wine's source. I can argue rationale if you like, e.g. we don't want to restrict ourselves to gcc, but my opinion doesn't mean much, as it's Alexandre's decision. --Juan
