| Mac X11 ProgrammingMac OSX 10.3 (Panther) now provides support for Unix X11 Windows programming! Panther ships with support for the X Windows GUI and includes the XTools IDE and X11 SDK on the developer's CD. So you have all the tools for compiling and running X Windows GUI programs on the Mac. X11 applications should be portable to Unix, Linux and even Windows Systems running X11 (see Cygwin below). More interesting is the power of running X11 applications over a network. By its inherent nature, all X11 applications are divided into a client and a server portion. This inherent division in X11 applications provides built in support for network remote access. X11 forwarding allows your application to run on a remote host machine while displaying the X11 Window on a local machine! This section provides the information that you need to build X11 applications and then communicate with the application over a network. I have compiled and tested a simple HelloWorld X11 Xt application. You can also program using the C++ cross platform Qt X11 framework. Check out the FAQ if you are having trouble getting one of these frameworks to work.
