Hello,
I read through the development plan on the project web site. I didn't
see anything ruling out (or in) support for Mac OS X. Right now,
though, only Linux/GTK and Windows builds are posted to the download
section. Is there work planned or underway to begin building for OS X
as well? And/or is a helping hand needed there?
I did try creating a build environment and running EPF on my Powerbook.
I checked out the R1_0_M3_BRANCH. I only got as far as trying to
create a new method library. At that point, I got an error dialog, saying:
"IUPL0300E: Unable to open the specified method library.
Reason:
The selected method library folder is invalid, does not exist, or you do
not have the proper permission to access it.
Click OK to select another library folder."
I went and looked at the directory in which it attempted to create the
library; it exists, is empty, and I have read/write/execute permissions
on it.
The following exception was logged to the console.
MultiFileResourceSetImpl.cleanUp(): removed resources: []

I'm happy to RTFM if someone can point me at the right manual. Any idea
where I might've gone wrong?
Thank you,
Jeffrey
