Re: Mac OS X nightlies are up!

 

The builds are being done on a Mac Mini.

      Model Name: Mac mini
      Model Identifier: Macmini6,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core i5
      Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
      Number of Processors: 1
      Total Number of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
      L3 Cache: 3 MB
      Memory: 16 GB

The official Mac name for it is "Mac Mini (late 2012)".

Attached is the full build log from Jenkins.  Note, I cleanly rebuild
*everything* every time, including wx and boost and everything, so the log
is quite long.
