Calendar xpi for Mac OS X

I'm back :-D

Following a hiatus of more than one month due to computer trouble (both
my 15" 2002 iMac and my TiBook had to undergo necessary repairs during
January 2004) I'm now happy to annouce that a calendar_mac.xpi based
upon the 1.6 source code is available for download the usual place.

I'm at present cooperating with Mostafah on getting a working xpi out of
the 1.7a source code. The whole way of building as well as the internal
structure of the xpi has changed drastically between 1.6 and 1.7a which
at first threw me off. But now I'm on the right track again, and I've
actually been able to build an xpi :-) Unfortunately, it refuses to
install :-( Mostafah has modified the install script to give some more
feedback, and I'm at present compiling a new version.

So, you should shortly - within a week I suppose - be able to get a 1.7a
based xpi too. The difference between 1.6 and 1.7a is mostly bugfixes
and not any changes in fuctionality.

Mostafah mentioned that the xpi based upon the 1.6 codebase might not
work with earlier - eg 1.4.1 and 1.5.1 - versions of Moz. If somebody
would do me the favour of telling me whether or not the newest xpi is
working with these, and post their results here, I'll be grateful.
Frankly, I don't have the time to do any in depth testing of
compatibility and other possible issues that might arise, so I'm relying
on you - the faithful community - to do some of the work ;-) I've got
some builds made at the end of 2003 that I'll put up on the website for
download.

Further on, I'll work on the much harder issue of getting Sunbird to
compile *and* work under Mac OS X.

As for the instructions for compiling these have changed subtly between
1.6 and 1.7a, so they'll have to be updated - which *will* happen in due
time ;-)

yours in happy hacking :-)
