Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Tux Paint 0.9.16 build for Mac OS X?

[Martin F. <mf...@gm...>]

I had some time last night to put together a universal binary of Tux  
Paint 0.9.16rc2.  It compiles :-) but doesn't run :-(  I'm getting  
the following error:

Error: I couldn't load a graphics file:
Tux Paint.app/Contents/Resources/brushes//kuroneko.dat
The Simple DirectMedia Layer error that occurred was:
Unsupported image format

I presume kurenko.dat is an image file, and I've checked that I  
linked against SDL 1.2.11 and SDL Image 1.2.5, which I believe are  
the latest versions.  Any ideas?

Martin
