on Mac

I use a MacBook as my personal computer. Because of FRC, I dual-boot WinXP along with my Mac OS 10.6.
On the Windows side I have LV 8.6 (FRC) and LV 2009 (FTC).
On the Mac side I have LV 8.5 (FRC 2008) and LV 2009 (FTC).

I know there's no reasonable way for me to deploy code to an RT target from the Mac side, but I do use it for some development, or if someone asks about how a VI works. I've copied the Robotics Library (and its menus) over, so I can place down functions, or look at old code I've made.

Of course, many things I open up, LabVIEW searches for the frameworks they rely on. (They were DLLs on Windows, but on Mac they're frameworks, and so they don't exist; copying them over won't do any good.)
Is there a way to make dummy frameworks (like nivision.framework and NiRioSrv.framework) so that I don't have to ignore those items when LabVIEW is searching for them?


This may seem crazy to many of you, but I enjoy developing on Mac, mainly because of the better window control, mouse control, and stability.
