Development packages for OS X (About screen contest)

Hi everyone,
Thanks to the help of several people, there are now recent development builds of Inkscape for PowerPC (G4-G5), as well as prebuilt python modules for all machines (ppc and intel) and all python versions currently available on OS X (2.3 - 2.5). These new builds are available on modevia as usual: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D
Python packages are integrated into the application so drag Inkscape and drop it somewhere on your machine (e.g. in Applications) and everything should "just work". There are two PPC packages (dec24 and 16774) which should work on Tiger and Leopard and one i386 (Intel) package (16834) which, unfortunately, is Leopard-only.
These should be still in time for the about screen contest and will provide good testing for the release.
Cheers to all those involved in PPC compiling.

Fires up nicely on intel/10.5 and PPC/10.4 -- great job! Looking forward to exploring the new 'stuff'

Any chances for working build for Panther 10.3.9? I would compile by myself, but I cannot update MacPorts to 1.6. The MP team had annouced, that they would make fix for that problem soon.

John Faith is working on it (Inkscape I mean, not MacPorts) but there are issues right now (Inkscape compiles but crashes on startup). Maybe you can help him test stuff and sort things out.

Hello, Here's what I've seen so far on OS X 10.3.9:
- Source from SVN does not build (as of version 16780), but I've submitted a few patches which seem to help. In LaunchPad, see bugs 178123, 175697, and 178180.
- After building the .app bundle, double clicking on the application just gives a small empty window.
- Running Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/Inkscape on the command line gives this error on the console when the small empty window is displayed: Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
I have tried running under gdb, but I have not yet been able to get a meaningful backtrace.
- If I run the Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape wrapper script from the command line, I get the main Inkscape window, but most icons are missing.
