Nic say: "Also, it was rather trivial to get Xiphos working native under X11 on a Mac, so that may be a lot easier than running it under a VM on a Mac?"
You could be right, however I run the VM for other reasons. I need the tools 'Backtrack Linux' so nicely wraps together (day job requires penetration tests tools and skills) so its no bother. That said, if you can direct me to a link with some hints on building it for X11 in OSX - I'd certainly give it a go and be appreciative. ~Andrew On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 8:18 PM, Nic Carter <niccar...@mac.com> wrote: > > On 21/07/2012, at 6:42, Karl Kleinpaste <k...@kleinpaste.org> wrote: > >> Find us someone willing to put in the work to produce a Mac package. >> The build has been done before, but not in a manner representing a >> complete, install-ready package.
