I was building on tiger until a few weeks ago (just got a new macbook). I'll see if I can compile and package the 0.46 code tonight.

If you want to try it yourself the instructions on the wiki using macports are pretty easy to follow. One note not mentioned on the wiki is that you'll need to install the gtk2-clearlooks package before building inkscape from source.

simply issue on the command line sudo port install gtk2-clearlooks or add it to the list of other ports that need to be installed.

Good luck, Jamie

I see that a Leopard dmg package for Inkscape 0.46 is posted, but not a Tiger (OSX 10.4.11) version, and the Leopard package doesn't run on Tiger.

I won't be upgrading my Macbook to Leopard for a while, if at all, and would like to upgrade to the latest Inskcape.

Is anyone planning to make a Tiger dmg?.

If not, and the build system is fairly-well automated, I could try to build a Tiger universal package on my macbook, I have xcode etc installed.

Any advice on this?

I suspect it's just due to lack of people with the necessary environment. Jiho can speak more, but I suspect your help on making a Tiger dmg would be much appreciated. I think he'd be able to check and upload your dmg, as well.

Could you please add this extra note to the wiki. (It's important everyone keep the build directions up to date and as complete as possible, since incorrect build directions can be a show stopper for new devs.)

Can I second that. As a new windows dev I found the old wiki notes for compiling on Win32 helpful, but still quite lacking in some areas, so I updated it as I experimented and found new things (still some stuff about applying patches to be added!). I actually think new devs can be in a good position to improve the wiki pages, because they don't assume too much knowlege.

We need to make the barriers to entry as low as possible for all newcomers, particularly since there are only about 50 people who are really in the thick of it with Inkscape.

I haven't tested this package on an Intel Tiger machine as I don't have access to one, so please let me know how you go with it if you have an Intel Mac.

First test... install and Launch is ok here.

OS X 10.4.11 on Intel Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo).

(X11 already running when I downloaded and installed.)
