I have not posted here for some time and am insanely busy at the  
moment, running out of time and funding with my main work,  
unfortunately.  I am trying to make it easier for people to contribute  
to the development process by providing more means for interested  
parties to contact me.  I'm currently testing to see if emails sent to  
the AGRIP Hackers Launchpad group get to me.

I have noticed someone has got their own branch of AQ on Launchpad.  I  
wonder if this is someone that would like to contribute to  
development.  If so I implore them to contact me off-list and I'll do  
all I can to help them get started.  Speaking of which, I promised I  
would put up some instructions on how to compile what I believe will  
be a universal binary of AQ for the Mac that works on Tiger AND  
Leopard.  Here it is...

set up macports

add following to /opt/local/etc/macports.conf

# AGRIP: added for supporting universal binaries on 10.4...
universal_target 10.4
universal_sysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
universal_archs ppc i386
# END of AGRIP additions

Now, to compile, you need to install the following macports.  Make  
sure you ask for the universal variants of them (i.e. sudo port  
install portname @universal).

        zlib
        libpng
        libiconv

Instead of getting SDL through MacPorts, you need to download the  
source version of libSDL from libsdl.org and compile it using the  
build-scripts/fatbuild.sh script, using the instructions in  
README.MacOSX.  The reason is that if you use macports, even the  
universal variant, not all SDL libraries are made universal.

You should then be able to compile AQ on Leopard, for Tiger and PPC/ 
Intel, by using the makefile in the zq-repo/zquake/ directory.  Use  
make server && make gl

== END ==

Sorry it's so late.  I really am... I just literally can't afford to  
spend hardly any time on AQ at the moment as my life is just getting  
back together after the accident and I am under immense pressure to  
finish my research.

I hope I will be able to get more active in AG again in the future.   
Until thin I'll post when I can and try to look for more developers  
when I have time to.

best regards,
