Great. Thank you for the feedback.
I hope you enjoy Seed7.
If you have questions or suggestions, just ask.

Recently I was in a shop, where they had an Apple exhibition.
All machines there had no Developer Tools, so I was not able to compile anything.
The sales people, not even the one from Apple, were not able to tell me
how to install the Developer tools. Additionally the person from Apple
did not even know whom to ask for a solution. It was a sad 	experience.
Could you provide me with a detailed description to install the
Developer Tools. I would like to add a detailed description of how to
compile under Mac OS X to the read_me.

This warnings are issued also under Linux.
BTW. I assume you used the 'makefile', not one of the 'mk_*.mak' files.
Do you think, a 'mk_mac.mak' makefile which takes care for the X11 path,
would make sense?
