[Ham-Mac] Compiling wsjt on Mac OS X 10.5 PPC with Macports

[Stephen Prior]

Hello Carl

Many thanks for the reply.  I never did find the opportunity to spend half
a day trying to make it work on my Mac Mini so now I hear about Macports
and 10.6.x I'm pleased I didn't try.  My Mac skills are not good enough to
do anything more than follow a recipe, so it would have all ended in
frustration and tears!

Happy New Year!  Maybe something will come our way.  Perhaps if it were
seen as a sexy app for the iPad then we'd make some progress, but for the
time being it's back to Windows!

PS Hope you are well away from those floods.
