[Bf-committers] First pure Cocoa version ! [Fwd: Re: Finally did it]

[Damien Plisson]

64bit shouldn't be much trouble, except for quicktime that remains  
32bit for now. That's the reason why Apple released Final Cut only in  
32bit this summer, and that gives them motivation to migrate QtKit API.
We can still add qt for 64bit blender without waiting for Apple but  
that'll need a process fork (no 32 & 64bit code in same process).  
Maybe not the first priority to code ?

For libSDL, their next release (1.3) will include 64bit support for  
mac, so it'll arrive.
Yes, joystick is handled through the HID manager (and that's the SDL  
1.3 implementation also).

Question: should joystick support be moved to ghost to remove link to  
libSDL ? That is, is there a goal to get rid of libSDL ?
