Comixer Released for Mac OSX!

I’m pleased to announce that Comixer 0.5 is now available for, and working, on Mac OS X!  It requires that you have Apple’s Xcode Tools Developer SDK installed, the Fink port manager, and (of course) all the same dependencies Comixer has on Linux need to also be met on Mac – including using the Nautilus file manager, rather than the Finder.  So it isn’t a “Mac Native” Cocoa version, but it does work.  Here’s a screenshot to prove it:

The Downloads page has a DMG file you can download.  Just mount it, run the Install script and – assuming you’ve met all the system requirements and have your X server and Nautilus configured properly the rest is the same as using the program on Linux.  Well, not exactly the same!  The User Manual is set to open in Safari and PDF open in Preview, but other than that is the same.

The dmg download has an automated installer, but if it doesn’t work on your system for some reason there are full manual installation instructions are in the Forums.

(Tested under Mac OS X Leopard, not Snow Leopard, btw).
