These are examples of how to set up the communications for EMC2 to run with a remote GUI. I don't know if they're fully up to date, you may want to look at emc.nml and make sure the buffer sizes match that.
To run AXIS on your mac, you'll need to do the following (at minimum): 1) get the NML library to compile on the mac 2) make sure you have valid versions of tcl/tk and python. 3) get the libraries that AXIS uses to compile (these include gcodemodule.cc, togl.c, and maybe others) 4) tell AXIS that it shouldn't export HAL pins (since that doesn't work over a network). I think you just have to set an environment variable AXIS_NO_HAL=true or similar. I don't know if anyone's done this, but you might just try to compile EMC2 for sim on your mac. You'll probably have to find and install a bunch of stuff (like the compiler and loads of libraries), but if you can get that to work, you're almost done. I believe that a sim install of EMC2 can be used as a remote GUI, if you set up the ini and nml files correctly.
