I couldn't upload to your Dropbox shared folder under Firefox 4 (at least on
a Mac), did manage under Safari.  The Dropbox app is a little too intrusive
for my tastes, I won't operate it on my Mac.

I sent you separate email including an updated build_distribution script and
assorted explanations of dependencies should you be able or interested in
trying to build a ghdl mcode version locally.  Compressed the installer app
is 1.27 MB and should be considered a first effort.  I'll switch to
generating a .dmg disk image sometime soon, adding a bit of eye candy along
the way. The ghdl mcode build_distribution script allows building from
source downloaded directly from the subversion repository on gna.org, and I
modify exactly zero files, fulfilling GPL distribution requirements.

There's a gtkwave app distribution available from the eng-osx page on
SourceForge that may be usable.  It's 44 MB.  I'm trying to stay out of the
gtkwave distribution business.  The sources look very large to build  on a
Mac with all the sundry libraries.  Alternatively for the Xcode user,
install Macports then 'sudo port install gtkwave' - it'll take hours,
including gtk2.  I operate under a bandwidth cap here and you can imagine in
general it's easier to build someone else's software from source rather than
get in the distribution business.

I saw the ghwviewer thread in ghdl-discuss, I think you could manage to get
that working under Mac OS X.  Linux sounds problematical.  Sounds like
something that ought to be done in Java for portability and compactness.

I copied this to the ghdl-discuss.

I'm fairly sure this ghdl mcode version will run on an Intel darwin9/10
machine or whatever i386 support there was under 10.4.
