Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] Build-instructions (and app) for Mac OS X 10.4+ universal (32-bit Intel + PPC)

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi Gustav,

Thank you very much for your great contribution to usbpicprog - osx!
Especially the scripts make it very easy for other mac developers to
build the application. I have put them in the subversion repository
under upp_wx/osx. (maybe we still need to change some cd commands in the
scripts in order to run them from there).
I have put the .dmg file on usbpicprog.org/downloads. Please everybody
with a mac (intel or ppc), test it and report back to the mailing list!

You are not breaking any rules, except that I have to accept the big
attachments manually :P
Maybe next time it is better if you put them on usbpicprog/downloads
directly. I will send you the password, but better not through this
mailin list...
If you send me your sourceforge username, I can also add you to the
project so that you have write access to the subversion repository in
case anything needs to change for the osx build. (and of course for the
official releases).

Great work!

Frans
