No, Its a completely completely different architecture. XMBC is built on top of the Windows mouse message hook system. Other OS's do things differently so would it wouldn't be a simple recompile but a complete re-write - and as I don't use MacOS and have no experience of it development wise, simply not something I could even contemplate.

Its quite basic - if you are able to intercept the mouse messages.
Just look for a second button pressed message within the defined time for a bounce and if you see one, block it (don't allow it to pass on further into the OS) - that's all XMBC does.

No point sharing the code because as I said, its dependent on the Windows mouse hook API which will not be the same on OSx.But the theory stand IF and only if you have the ability to intercept and block messages early enough in the message chain. I have no idea how (or even if) you can hook into mouse messages in OSX.

To be fair, XMBC's way of doing it is very crude and not all that accurate. Really this needs to be done the in mouse driver or hardware itself - and frankly, that fact that is isn't means that's its difficult to get right 100% of the time.
I have had mouse buttons start bouncing, and XMBC has failed to make it much better - so normally it means getting out the soldering iron and simply replacing the button switch inside the mouse! Ive done several on my Logitech G9 (its too good to replace!). Luckily the micro switches are cheap and relatively easy to replace on the mouse.

Regards,
Phil

Let me know if you manage to figure out how to find a way to globally hook/preprocess mouse messages in OSX - if you do, and are able to block the messages from going to the system, then it should be reasonably simple. I did a quick google yesterday but didn't find very much (this functionality is rarely used in Windows so ifs a bit difficult to google, but I imagine even less so on other OS's). The only one or two directly related messages seemed to suggest that OSX does not have the same facility, but it may have other ways of doing things, so its difficult to know if its even possible or not at this stage.
