Ha Marius,

I've solved Mac OSX starting with creating a small directory in Applications
and soft linking to the files in /usr/local/kicad/macosx

<p>Hi again,<br>
<br>
Just in case anyone is waiting for this:<br>
It turned out to be more complicated than I first thought to bind <br>
together the individual tools in the KiCAD suite.<br>
Somehow, KiCAD requires arguments to be given on the command-line <br>
when launching tools from the project manager, while this is an <br>
unsupported way of launching programs packaged as application bundles <br>
under Mac OS X. The normal way of doing this is using Apple Events - <br>
now wxWidgets seems to support apple events, but assumes that an <br>
application receiving them is an MDI-type application, which KiCAD is <br>
not.<br>
A couple of iterations further down into the matter, I&#39;ve come to <br>
think that to fix this properly is a fair bit of work, and <br>
unfortunately I don&#39;t have this kind of time at the moment.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ll pick up this thread again in a while, but if anyone has any <br>
comments or insights, I&#39;m interested.<br>
Also, if anyone is interested in my current patch, I can post it.<br>
