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

[Gustav J. <gu...@ne...>]

Hi Frans!

I have not uploaded any of the "fixed" builds, I was going to  
yesterday but the FTP didn't work... I'll upload one of my snapshots  
tonight and we'll see if they work then. I've also managed to build  
for cocoa, so if you can test that build as well it would be great!

Cheers,
Dr. Gustav Johansson
