Inkscape 0.46 for Mac OS X 10.4 Intel?

Postby BobSongs » Fri Feb 29, 2008 8:02 pm

Greets;

Should I expect a release of Inkscape 0.46 for the Mac OS X 10.4, Intel chip?

Here's my problem. I don't have 10.5 installed. Not because I'm cheap, but because I use free or OSS software. And while I haven't done a scan of every package I'm using many have expressed not being ready for OS X 10.5.

If there will be no .dmg for 10.4, is there some way I can compile it? I've never compiled software on a Mac before (I'm sure it's not too different from Ubuntu), but a .dmg file would be nice. 10.4's not dead yet. It just smells funny. ;^)

NOTE: It's not an issue for panic. I can always compile it for Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon) or download the latest .exe for Windows, though I much prefer it on the Mac. I'm using the latest stable version for 10.4 as well as the latest beta (16573 i386). While the beta has many features it doesn't seem to recognize the full set of installed fonts. Hence why I switch back and forth.

Take a look here;
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX
Also get involved in the Inkscape mailing lists - http://www.inkscape.org/mailing_lists.php?lang=en

Nabble can be useful for just looking at the lists, but if you sign up for nabble and also on the above page, you can send through nabble;

I use this more like a forum.

Cheers,
