Ahh, stupid me... I thought you were talking about the build slave which
I could help install :-) But I have no idea about building a Mac installer.

Cool! I'll be happy to come by and help install it.

(I have sent this reply to tracker@viff.dk only -- that ensures that
it does not go to the mailing list but to the issue tracker instead.
Interested people are expected to add themselves to the nosy list and
receive the mails that way.)

What to install is another question: VIFF is a library with a bunch of
demo applications. So it does not really fit that well into the usual
drag-drop idea where you drag "The Application" to your hard disk and
then double click its icon to use it.

But what I would really like to see is an installer that will let you
install all our dependencies with a minimum of fuss. If we ever get
around to make a demo launcher (Issue15) then that could be what the
user will install when dragging an icon to the hard disk.

What do you guys think?

We need some kind of installer for Mac OS X. Janus sent me this link:

which explains how you create one of those nice drag-and-drop installers
that everybody uses these days.

I have added Jakob and Janus to the nosy list since they are the only
ones I know of who use Mac.
