I certainly would like to support this platform. I'm sorry I can't tell you when this will happen. (First I have to get one of those...)
Thanks

Maybe some of us can help you. I'm not a developer, but developer tools can be downloaded, and I suppose we can use a Linux version at first...

Thanks for volunteering to help with the OS X client! We will let you know when this becomes a priority, and if we will need help with the port. Currently, it doesn't look like we will get to this point in the next few months, sorry!

Well, I\'m pretty confused. I have OS 10.4, and I\'m under the impression that everything is up and running. (Is that correct)?

If so, I\'ve tried to get this going since yesterday--more than 36 hours now, and not much has happened. There have been no downloads. I\'ve seen \"rescheduling CPU\" a couple of times. No task time; no transfers, no disc space. No screen saver.

So am I doing something wrong here? Or do I need more patience; or is the site not yet ready for Macs.

Thanks,

Jack, Malaria Controll has no application for MacOS in the moment. But, I hope that there will be one available.

Hi urmet

Not yet.
You can check which applications are available for which platforms on the applications page. Linked here for your convenience.

So why not indicate on your first page for this site that Mac is not a supported platform so we don\'t spend hours reading silly stuff to find out you are not going to be supporting Mac in the near future.

We have just received the first results for the malariacontrol test application from an Intel Mac. We\'ll need a few more days testing version 5.51 (with intermittent availability of work) before we\'ll update the production application.

For now we can only support Intel Macs, as PPC is not supported by our compiler (Intel Fortran).

In the moment, I get the \"no work from project\" message, too.
Have you enabled the \"Run test applications?\" flag at the preferences ?

I had it set to yes at one time, but not now. Any time you make a change with the resource number on BAM, it resets the project-specific setting back to default. A fix has been implemented, but the projects need to update their server software. I just changed it back to yes. Maybe I\'ll get some work now.

Hello. Any new news on this? I am wondering when we should expect to see regular work for the intel Macs.

We\'ve just updated the production version of the malariacontrol application. You should receive workunits on a regular basis from now on.
