Hi Marco,

I just finished building BZR4854 according to your instructions, and
still kicad does not work properly on OSX.

See screen capture below.
I remember exchanging emails with Dick in this mailing list, and there was a fix for that, but it was never applied to the source code for OS X on the repository. 

The behavior of the kicad buttons is still not consistent. the first three (3) using kiface symlink are working fine, but the other four (4) are not.
So we have three separate behaviors.
Buttons 1, 2 and 3 are fine (thanks to symlink).
Buttons 4, 5 and 6 start the application minimized, so we need to go to the dock, and click on the icon to open the app window.
Button 7 does not work as the app (pl_editor) open and close immediately.

Please see Dick for his insights on how to fix it. He was very helpful to me when you were not responding to the issues. I will be back home after May 12th, so I will have more time to give you feedback inn the new builds.

Last, I am not sure how to install properly the libraries. Is there a script that will work for OS X? Something that I could add to my script (Bash script BuildKicad-OSX) attached to have everything at once.

Thank you for your help.
