Theoretically though, if I'm not mistake, we could compile the Lazy Launch source code with Xcode and it should? work

just the lazy combiled isnt enoug
and not combatible entirely i dont use the loader any more so tbat woulb be a wrong start becsuse with every new patch loader is less and less stable and besides that you need a lot of game options to set before go if i had lots of time i could write a mac launcher but a lot simpler

Well, if we just distributed source code and got everyone to compile it themselves, compatibility wouldn't be an issue :D
Xcode is free @ the apple website

AFAIK, LazyLauncher has been closed-source all this time, and it has no plans on releasing any source code whatsoever.

And anyway, to compile in XCode, we would need to have the loader's/crack's source written in Objective C, or something that Mac OS X can run. With that, an interface would need to be created for Mac OS X specifically. Just stick with virtualization/BootCamp, because a crack branching out into Mac OS X seems unlikely.
