Port to MacOS?
Hi,
With the Mac/MacOS native version of Foobar2000; it would be great if OpenLyrics could be ported to run on the Mac.
Many Thanks
In theory it would be good yes, but I can't do this (at least not any time soon).
I don't own any Mac devices so I have no way of setting up a local build for testing, let alone updating CI to build it as part of the usual release. This would also require significant changes to the code to isolate the Windows-specific calls in a way that can be swapped out for Mac equivalents. That's something I can keep in mind generally while making other changes but ultimately it's going to require the CI system to produce a Mac build.
I also hope that the plugin can be ported to the macos version, the development environment can be built with virtual box, performance should be no problem
That'd be great. Are there any plans yet / Is the main problem the setup of the build system?
There are no plans yet. The build system is one problem, another is the tight integration with the win32 API for all of the UI work (and more, but the UI is the largest and most difficult to change case of this).
Unless fb2k has some magic sneakery to make that somehow do sensible things with that on Mac, all of the UI would need to be rewritten using something sensible that works cross-platform.
