[jean-pierre charras - INPG <jean-pierre.charras@...>]

i have recompiled kicad with macosX (1.4) without any compilation 
problem, using make -f makefile.macosx.

You MUST wxWidgets version wxMAC-2.6.2 ou wxWidget-2.6.3rc1
(does not compile with oldiers versions)

I have used the build command:
./configure --enable-unicode=yes --enable-shared=no --enable-monolithic 
--with-opengl --disable-universal --disable-compat24 
--with-libpng=builtin --with-libjpeg=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin 
--with-zlib=builtin --with-regex=builtin

opengl (or mesa) must exists.

Binaries works, but the 2 problems are not solved:

- eeschema and pcbnew do not display the menu (but kicad and cvpcb 
do..), but if I launch the print dialog and the print preview, the menu 
appears...
- the most annoying problem is the curious behaviour of the XOR and the 
XNOR mode for drawings (mode used for display moving objects).
XOR mode is used to draw a moving object with a black background, and 
XNOR for a white background.
2 succesive redraws in XNOR mode for the same object must restore the 
original background.
This works well under wxGTK or wxMSW, and does not work under wxMAC.

- Other problem (solved in the next release, coming soon): navigation in 
notepad dialogs (used in component edition) is not possible, and we 
can't reach all the pages.
