Description

As stated in the roadmap for 0.9 (http://dev.ryzom.com/versions/show/15) Ryzom should run natively on Mac OS X using Cocoa.

Therefor, the following things need to be done:
  • CMake needs to build objective-c/c++
  • the NeL OpenGL driver needs to implement the Cocoa interface for window creation and management, GL context creation
  • a new CocoaEventEmitter needs to be implemented in NeL to handle mouse and keyboard events
  • CMake build scripts need a new flag (eg. WITH_COCOA) to switch between X11 and Cocoa GL driver on Mac OS X
  • CMake needs to create an App Bundle for Ryzom to match Mac OS X style
  • ...

I have already a prototype implementation. After cleaning it up a bit I will sync it with the repository step by step.

Some more information on that topic are available on MacClientState.

Remaining known issues:
