Can we make it easier to use Mac OSX? about exercises-solutions HOT 2 CLOSED

Option 1 is straightforward to implement after I've done som searching and will result in no changes or steps for a Mac user once they have downloaded the examples. The source files check for the APPLE macro so there is no reason that the makefile can't check which platform we are on too. The examples of this I found use uname and check for Darwin.

Will add this to the makefiles.

I have applied some fixes so that:

• The global makefiles detect the platform
• This defines the APPLE variable for the other makefiles
• The lower makefiles then set the -DAPPLE and -framework OpenCL flags for the compiler based on the behaviour in the master makefile

This is the latest version (anything above this commit: 82e378e). Would you please be able to test this on your OSX please!

The individual Makefiles don't test the OS, but you could do: APPLE='' make at the prompt for the same behaviour here.
