Thanks for doing that, Jim. Just as a note, the latest development code compiles and runs on Mac OS X without modification, and LDView 3.2 will have an official Mac Universal Binary version (although it might labeled as Beta). (Getting the Universal Binary part to work for the QT and Boost libraries took some work.) The development code has some menu cleanup (including standard “Open Recent” sub-menu in the File menu and removal of the (empty) Edit menu). In order to make it as easy as possible for end-users, the official version will statically link against both Boost and QT. That means that the binary will be relatively large (13MB uncompressed), but it also means that it will run on any Mac with OS X 10.4 without any other dependencies.

I hadn’t made any official announcements about it before now because I don’t really have any estimate on what the release date will be. If you’re interested in the latest dev code, just follow the instructions here to get it via anonymous cvs:

If you have Boost and QT compiled, you should be able to compile the code without any modifications.

Making it universal with no dependencies is great - that will make it easily accessible to a lot more people than if prerequisites like Boost (...)
