porting gnupoc to mac osx

Are you interested to use your apple mac osx for sos development?  
Then please continue reading, otherwise don't waste your time and stop here.

updated post:
-----------------------------------
It is possible to build .app, .rsc and .sis files and run them on 9210 and P800.
Tapan S. Parikh was mentioning as well that he got Series60 V21 working on his mac.
Not working: .aif and .mbm. But we will get there.
That means petran, makesis & gcc can be natively compiled on a mac.
Then the gnupoc patches for 9210 and P800 can be applied to build a SDK.
Tapan was using sdk2unix for Series60 v21.

 GnuPoc is about running a SymbianOS SDK on a unix os (linux/gnu/mac osx/...)

First success so far:
  (gcc, rcomp, bmconv, makesis & petran sources are based on http://symbianos.org/download/ )
1) got the arm-epoc-pe-gcc run on mac osx (here are the notes)
  http://boxme.net/andre/gnupoc/gnupoc_ppc.txt
2) got the rcomp, bmcomv & petran compiled on mac osx
  rcomp & petran test fail
  makesis needs libwcs support in order to compile it
3) QConsole compiled for mac osx and partly running
  (crashes after first command)
4) Trying to get a sos phone connected to a mac using gnubox
http://www.symbianos.org/yabbse/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=7

Next steps would be:
1) verifying gcc
2) verifying rcomp & petran test results
3) getting makesis compiled (porting libwcs)
4) porting p3nfs to mac osx
5) having a look at the gnupoc patch of the perl build scripts

The biggest showstopper I can see at the moment is the problem that the SDK's are delivered as win32 exe file, which contain .cab files. There are solutions out there to run wine on linux to run the needed win32 dll's to unpack the SDK.

If anyone knows about any mac osx Symbian SDK, then please let me know? Also, if anyone knows someone working on it?
