Oh, also, can you make it available from a URL please so myself and others can test it out.
Thanks, Jon

I'm curious as to the state of the MAC OS X DMG of Inkscape? I would like to make the push to get a working Mac DMG of Inkscape out as part of 0.42.
Anyhow, I see the wiki page on Compiling OS X is quite full of a lot of comments, but no clear answer to the OS X package.
I've succesfully made a DMG compiled from yesterday's CVS HEAD. It's a hybrid of bits from Kee's `osx-app.sh' script, the current Gimp.app and the icons from M-Rick's DMG posted on the wiki. I've tested it on several 10.3.x machines *without* fink installed, and will try it on a 10.4.1 machine tomorrow evening.
M-Rick did post a DMG on the wiki page but it seems to have a few problems. It apparently starts incredibly slowly for some people, has some hacks that copy files into or set up links within /sw where some of the files/libraries seem to be expected. Also it is a 60+MB DMG and 280MB unpacked. I haven't really looked into any of these issues, but judging from the comments on the wiki page and brief look at the DMG the size may be due to extra libraries unecessarily included, and the start times due to the directory/copying hackery.
The DMG I have built does no copying (aside from setting up a few config files in a ${HOME}/.inkscape-etc directory, similar to Gimp.app), starts quickly on the machines I have tried and is a 22MB DMG (73MB unpacked).
I'm at home so I can't post a build anywhere, but will put one up for people to try on Monday. If this works for people I am happy to build a DMG for the 0.42 release, and contribute a build script to CVS once I have the whole process scripted.
Cheers, Michael
