Does anyone know where/if I can download the wpilib in cpp for mac? I would like to be able to view all source files with my mac while the computer is offline. I could do this by simply downloading each .h and .cpp, but that would take forever, and I thought it better to ask here first if anyone knew of a better alternative
These seem to be obsolete, but it’s what I’ve found.

It looks like there’s a repo to checkout of FirstForge, but it looks old (20months since last commit). That’s still a few years newer than the source snapshot linked above.
If that’s good enough for you, you can svn checkout http://firstforge.wpi.edu/svn/repos/wpilibcpp but you need an account. You would need a subversion client to do this in one step (as opposed to manually downloading each file), I don’t have any recommended subversion clients for mac.
Wouldn’t they be distributed as part of the FRC plugins? I’m not so sure about C++ but I know that the FRC Java plugin does this.
It looks like this is my best option for now, and I can just individually download and replace the revised files.
Thanks guys!
If you have Windriver installed (and updated) (either on a different computer, in Parallels or with Bootcamp), there’s a zip file with the source at C:\WindRiver\WPILib (or wherever you installed it at). The latest version I could find is dated 2012-02-04.
You can get the same by downloading the update package and extracting it. I do this with 7-Zip (which has unofficial builds available for Mac OS X), but other compression software may be able to as well.
Don’t know if the other ones are more up to date, but this is their official repo.
There is also a GCC port of WPILib available.
