Do you mean you can test a version of Inkscape built for Panther on your machine or that you are ready to build it yourself? The later would be immensely helpful.
I am not a programmer, so I can only test Inkscape builded by others.
You really do not need to be a programmer to build Inkscape, you just need some hard drive space, a little spare time and the will to follow the directions we can give you. Would you care trying? By the way, I am no programmer at all either and I am building Inkscape from time to time. That's really easy. JiHO --- http:// jo.irisson.free.fr/
Well, If it is not very difficult I can Build on an iMac G5 PPC 1.8 ghz on osx 10.4.8 with at least 30 GB free. I am not a programmer too but I want to help the movement of Inkscape into OSX. If you give me some instructions how to do it, I can do it :D
Thank you, that would be very useful. Currently what we urgently need is someone to compile Inkscape on 10.3.9 (and there is someone working on this). But your motivation could really be usuful to build development snapshots of Inkscape. Development of Inskcape occurs constantly and all new stuff are posted through SVN. It would be good to have someone compiling SVN regularly so that other people can see what is going on and test new features before they reach the release. I tried to do this in the past but do not have much time for it and it would be great if you could help.
To start you could get comfortable with SVN: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingWithSVN then get DarwinPorts and build Inkscape dependencies with it: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX The rest of the build process (i.e. actually building Inkscape) is all automated but needs a little polish right now (there have been many changes and several ways to compile Inkscape and the dust still needs to settle.) Note that this method will allow you to build Inkscape for PPC only. Michael Wybrow has developed a method to build Universal binaries of Inkscape in one go which does not involves DarwinPorts. But I do not know anything about it. Universal development snapshots would probably be more useful than PPC only ones so you may want to wait for him to start with this. As I said, all this is very new and it would need a little time to get everything right... hopefully with your help.
Thanks in advance.
