Is it possible to get LE 3.1 to build and run on a mac as it is now? I know LE 3.0 is and that was a big selling point for me.

I have found the secret to infinite life

It doesn't yet and I miss having it available on my Mac. I want to say soon, but I have a lot of things going on right now. :|

 

100% of the reason it wasn't ready one day one is Objective-C.

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

3.1 is not, due to the difficulty of setting of GL contexts in Objective-C and interfacing with BMX. It requires additional work I don't have time for, so I am putting our a requests for help with this.

What exactly is the issue of setting the OpenGL contexts? That shouldn't be language-dependent. By the way, I found that using a library like http://www.glfw.org makes this process rather painless, cross-platform (and C++ based). There, setting the initial context for OpenGL requires a

 

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 2);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);

 

So you have to set the profile to 3.2 and forward compatible, which was a little counter-intuitive to me :-)

 

 

As a side notice, I find the statement "I don't have time for that" a little...nonchalant. OSX users have purchased/preordered the upgrade like everyone else, and I guess that "contract" should be fulfilled even if other things seem to be more in focus right now.
