Re: [Denemo-devel] OSX build

[Jeremiah Benham]

So what exacly happens when you try to launch denemo now? Is there  
anything in the terminal? If so can you paste it here? Is there a pop  
up saying that it can't find denemoui.xml or denemo.png or something  
like that? That's what should be happening if the paths are incorrect.  
Is there anyway to send me the config.log that is created by the  
configure process? This way I will be able to tell if gub is passing  
the correct arguments to ./configure. Is there anyway I can get access  
to these binaries so I can do some testing. I will try to get gub to  
work but every time I try it fails or seems to freeze up or something.
