Hi Franco, thank you for your offer! I think you posted your answer before reading mine above; the job is already done (go e.g. to the mirror http://sage.scipy.org/sage/osx/powerpc/index.html and you'll already see the file "sage-4.3-OSX10.4-32bit-G4- PowerMacintosh-Darwin.dmg" which should do the job). To answer your original question: - download and unpack the source (tarred) distribution on your PowerPC Mac in a filesystem which is not case-sensitive (default for older HFS ones on Mac) - in a (bash) terminal, cd to this directory, and type: - export SAGE_BINARY_BUILD=yes - make - (wait some hours) - export SAGE_APP_DMG = yes - ./sage -bdist 4.3-OSX10.4-32bit-G4 - (wait a bit more) - smoketest the .dmg (to be found under the new "dist/" subdir), i.e. open it, install sage from it, run that install with some commands like "ModularSymbols(53,2,1)", open the notebook(), check some entry in the help/documentation - upload the .dmg to someplace Additionally to (not instead of!) "export SAGE_APP_DMG = yes" you can do "export SAGE_APP_BUNDLE = yes", if you wish to create a "Mac App" version. The TiBook I use has only a 550Mhz CPU, what are the specs of the G4 Mac you have access to? Could you help out building the G4 dmg every now and then?
