[aspectc-user] Builds for OSX?

[Olaf Spinczyk]

Hi Stefan!

We are aware that ac++ currently does not run on OSX. Therefore, we 
don't provide the binary. It is not supported. Linux/x86 is the 
recommended platform.

Some time ago I tried to track down the OSX problem but it was difficult 
-- somewhere deeply in the Puma library. At this time I had to postpone 
debugging, but I will definitely look into it again. However, I will do 
nothing in this directly until version 1.1 will be published.

Cheers,

Olaf
