Apple's UNIX Porting Guide in html and as a pdf This document helps to guide developers in bringing applications written for UNIX-based operating systems to Mac OS X. It provides the background needed to understand the operating system. It touches on some of the design decisions, and it provides a listing and discussion of some of the main areas that you should be concerned with in bringing UNIX applications to Mac OS X. It also points out some of the advanced features of Mac OS X not available in traditional UNIX applications that you can add to your ported applications. This document is an overview, not a tutorial. In many regards it is a companion to the more extensive Inside Mac OS X: System Overview, but with a bias toward the UNIX developer. Mac OS X Customization : A site that has many useful links for getting OS X to work for you (rather than the other way around). So does this one, and then there is OS X hints. Binaries for molmol, raster3D, CNS, and a number of other useful things are available from Logan Donaldson at http://dryden.biol.yorku.ca/macosx which is where some of these other links (above) are from as well. Science Tools for GNU
Darwin contains many useful links and bits of advice. The
GNU Darwin page
directly above it is also worth a visit. It also contains a
link to Fink (see
Section 3 above); they are two different (but not necessarily
competing) ways of doing things. I've found Fink to be less
confusing.
My lab has a page of links for various crystallographic software manuals and help pages. In Addition...You may find these books to be helpful. I think they are the two most useful OS X books I have read:
 This is a link to a list of programs and utilities that I find are really useful to have for OS X |
