Core Foundation download?

[Victor Eijkhout]

Apple's web site says that CF is open source; there is mention of a
CF-lite product; but I can't find any download link, on the regular site
or in ADC.

Help?

Here's my context: I'm support for a linux cluster, and a user wants to
port an appication that was developed on a Mac. So I'm not looking for
statements that CF is included in Xtools or so, I would really like a
download so that I can install it on my cluster.

Well OK, but Core Foundation is nowhere near enough to port most Mac
apps.

If it's pure C, no graphics elements, just CF for nifty language
constructs?

As long as it's Core Foundation, and not Foundation itself. And as long
as it fits within the the CF "lite" that Apple distributes.

What you're probably looking more for is something like GNUstep:

Porting ease will depend on how many advanced features you used in
developing the application for the Mac.
