Re: A quick update

Hi Mike,
The OSX porting work that I did was under 10.5. I don't have access to
a 10.4 system to test on. The other point to be aware of is that the
OSX port, like with the Linux port, is command line only for the time
being.

On the plus side there is a pre-built binary for OSX (built under
10.5) available from the downloads section. I've just added it as a
featured download, so it should be accessible from the project front-
page as well. Since you mention 10.4, I'm guessing this binary may not
be any use to you. Try it out, but if that is the case, please let me
know. I think I should be able to build a binary for 10.4 too.

Cheers, talksmall

PS. I really must add instructions for building under Xcode to the
Wiki. Sigh, another thing for the list.
