Skyld tried once and ran into some problems. He can probably elaborate.

I've gotten gonstruct working on a Mac. I basically just used MacPorts to install all of the dependencies. I didn't use it extensively, so it's possible it could have been missing some functionality. But, from what I can tell it was working.

Yeah that's really all you need to do, it compiles as easily on Mac OS as it does on Ubuntu. It just takes a while to install the dependencies through MacPorts. The problem with providing a binary is packaging these dependencies, not exactly sure how to do that on a Mac. Maybe someone else knows?

I don't know much about packaging for Mac either. But, one option could be to create a macport for it.

I could attempt to make one... I've done a lot of FreeBSD porting so hopefully MacPorts won't be too hard to pick up. The documentation isn't nearly as good as FreeBSD's though .
