Igor, excelent that you made a Native Boost vm available for MacOSX. I would like to try out your text rendering demos.
Yes, VM is ready for use.. but image side code are not still adopted for MacOS. Mac OS using a stack alignment (16 bytes), and if you not aligning the stack when doing external calls, it leads to exception(s) & crash. In other platforms there is no any restriction about stack alignment, and obviously that's why i was not care about it in code generator. Now i need to rewrite a code generation code to take this into account. This complicates things a little, and will slow down the callout code on macs , but i hope not really too much. So, until then , nativeboost for doing external calls on Macs is not ready for use.
But i have a problem while trying to load the NBOpenGL in the order specified in squeaksource.
NBOpenGL-Win
This package depends on the following classes:  NBWinTypes  NBWinConstants
So, this is a platform-specific (Windows) part of NBOpenGL, and no wonder, it requires a platform-specific NativeBoost package specifically for windows. In same way, there will be NBOpenGL-Mac (or most probably NBOpenGL-Unix) which will implement platform-specific parts needed for using OpenGL on it.
