+
+ The Mac OS X port of ACE is very much a work in progress. Some
+ of the examples build and run, some of them don't yet. Reactors
+ seem to work, while Proactors don't (Mac OS X doesn't use aio_*
+ calls for async i/o, it uses the OS X Event Queue instead, and
+ the ACE port doesn't take this into account yet). Also, on OS X,
+ you must set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to
+ $ACE_ROOT/ace i.e. setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $ACE_ROOT/ace, or else
+ none of the examples will be able to find libACE.dylib.
+
+ John Zorko <j.zorko@att.net> began this port for a work
+ project, and basically only ported enough of ACE to be able to
+ do what we needed to with it on Mac OS X. If you would like
+ to continue the port, please contact John since he as
+ interested in seeing ACE run, lean, mean and fully supported,
+ on Mac OS X.
