Initial Comment:
I was wondering if anyone had attempted a compile of the latest BRL-CAD  source files for the new OS X Lion. I am thinking of buying a macbook pro but want to make sure that I can use all my software on it. That said, Sean Morrison responded to a previous post that they would like someone in the community to step up and maintain builds for Apple machines. I wouldn't mind doing that once I become familiar enough with the OS. May need some support along the way though. ;-)

Message:
A Lion build has not yet been attempted, but nothing should really prevent
it from going smoothly.  Compiling on Mac is one of the easiest platforms
to work with and the learning curve is pretty smooth.  It'll be downright
easy to get a successful compilation of BRL-CAD even if you do run into a
problem and we'll be glad to help walk you through the process.
