I agree with the other comments here. This developer would have a lot more success with distributing his program amongst typical Mac users if he/they took the time to compile the program first. Many inexperienced Mac users don't have a clue regarding what the XCode Developer tools are, are still afraid of the Terminal, and wouldn't know how to begin to compile a program from source. Macs are all about being user-friendly; remember? :)

Mac-Friendly Pkg Installer Please - vintonalan_dotmac
I'm a little confused. I *know* how to compile - so I dloaded this software.There is NOTHING to complile. I clicked on the versiontracker link and downloaded a .tgz file (tarred and zipped). Mac OS X handles this - I clicked on the app and it launched. What am I missing?

Your comment is superfluous, this last version is indeed mac-friendly, one may launch it anywhere on the disk, as it is now on my second partition. Or is there anything I cannot grasp?Reply to This
