[Gretl-devel] new OS X builds

Mac users may have noticed that the gretl snapshots for OS X are not refreshed as often as the Windows snapshot. That's because I'm able to build, package and publish the Windows snapshot from my Linux laptop at Wake Forest University, with a fast internet connection, while up till now I have had to make the Mac builds at home, using borrowed CPU cycles on my wife's iMac, and uploading via a relatively slow DSL connection. But I have now set up a linux-to-OS X cross-compiler on my machine at work: if this works OK I'll be able to keep the Mac snapshots up to date with ease. There are test files at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots (gretl-intel.dmg.gz and gretl-ppc.dmg.gz -- please note the .gz extension). I'm not able to produce Apple-type compressed disk images -- which I think requires the use of closed-source Apple tools. So I have just gzipped the dmg files. If anyone is able to test these, that would be very helpful. The gretl-intel image works fine on OS X 10.4.11, but it would be nice to know if it works right on more recent OS X. And if anyone still runs on ppc, ditto for that image. Allin
