Probably.

The configure switches for common, vic and rat have a --enable-ipv6
switch to build with ipv6 enabled.

The VIC in the SUMOVER SVN mpeg4 branch can be built against the Tcl/Tk
that is bundled with MacOS 10.4 (that uses Carbon instead of X11), so
has a native Aqua GUI look.

It's GNU Autoconf based (i.e a configure script is used), but you could
probably manually import the files into an XCode project.

To obtain the latest code:
svn co http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/repos/mmedia/common/trunk common
svn co http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/repos/mmedia/vic/branches/mpeg4
vic

(cd common; ./configure --enable-ipv6; make)
(cd vic; ./configure --enable-ipv6; make)

If you are using MacOSX 10.4 or earlier, you will need to install
Subversion (SVN) to checkout the latest version of the files.



Cheers,
Doug
