No. It doesn't work like that. The Dreambox is based on linux? Well, then the executable format will mostly likely be ELF. Mac OS X uses MACH-O as its executable format. Even if the executable formats were the same, copying an executable from one platform to another would result in almost certain failure since there'd be libraries missing.
Isn't OSX based on Darwin linux? Has anyone tried this? |
Darwin isn't linux. Darwin is a UNIX based open source operating system. Darwin has more in common with FreeBSD than it does with Linux.
