    I have several computers at home (that are running windows), but a ton of people at my school play TPT, and they always come to me for their questions, requests for me to make another mod, ideas they want me to make, etc. I have made a few mods that i have let some of the other students play around with, as to get new suggestions, but all of the mods are from my windows computer, so the students have to play it at home on their own windows computers. So to be able to get the other student's school laptops (macbooks running OSX), i would have to be able to compile on my school laptop. Also, there isn't really anyone else at my school who actually knows how to code, write in a scripting language, etc. (besides some of the teachers). So, I am the only one who mods at my school and then everyone wants me to compile them for mac.

    In a nutshell; I am the only person who mods at my school, so everyone else wants me to compile my mods for mac, which I can only do on my school laptop (my only mac), but I can't do any sudo commands on the school computer.

    (Yeah, I know its a huge run-on )

    Erg, I didn't really understand what you said lol.

    Judging from the little nutshell you gave me, why can't you just get the sudo password for it or something lol...ask your boss to make an exception :P or just ask someone to compile them for you, and if you think you have some neat stuff share it here or on github... well...you sort of have to now that you mentioned it, since that's what the open source license thing states, but I personally wouldn't sweat it, it's not like the powder police are going to come and say 'off with his head!' lol.
