Re: Advice: possible fork to accept Apple's CF

[Luboš Doležel]

Hi,

Apple's libobjc is only designed to work on OS X. I don't think porting 
this library would be of any advantage.

The same applies to most of Apple's CF. That being said, you should take 
a look at opencflite, which is a project that aims to port CF to other 
platforms. I'm sure the project's developer(s) could pull any new 
functionality from CF-744.12.
