Thanks, please let me know when you think these are ready to copy to ftp server. Would it be preferable to just distribute the .app version? Is there any problems for poeple if we leave the file compressed? I assume they need to still download and install the base package (and specify it's location when they run fgfs.) How hard would it be to bundle up a mac version that includes the base package and the executable and is all self extracting/installing?
Thanks,
Curt.

I am putting two FlightGear executables on my web page. The first is a standard UNIX-style executable and the second uses a .app wrapper (probably as close as I can come to an installer under MacOS, since it really doesn't use them). They were built under MacOS X 10.3.3.

I would really appreciate it if someone were to download both of them and give them a try. It's not that I am paranoid or anything :)

Curt,
I just built one last night. I can strip it and put on my web space for you to pick up.
Ok, thanks! By the way, do you or any other Mac developers have any thoughts on packaging FG in a MacOSX friendly installer (kind of like what we do for most of the other platforms?) Right now, most Mac people have a pretty tough time dealing with a binary that has to be executed from command line with command line options. It would be nice to get the fgrun launcher going on the Mac platform as well. This and better packaging could go a *long* ways towards making FG more Mac friendly.

Curt. --
