Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your help on this.
I don't currently own a Mac, but I've recently been helping several
people install Inkscape on their Macs, so I added a section to the
Inkscape wiki here. I have just added a note about the release
candidate and XQuartz roadmap there. I imagine there are a lot of
people confused by the different versions of X11 on the Mac, as well
as different binaries for Panther, Tiger and Leopard, so I've tried
to simplify things there. I am thinking the Mac section could be
useful for other wikis like Gimp and OpenOffice and might look into
that. I would also be happy for this to be copied for an FAQ on the
XQuartz site, if that is useful.
Another thing I've noticed is that Leopard built Inkscape binaries
won't run on Tiger, and I sometimes vice-versa as well. Someone has
suggested this is because of the change in X11 to the x.org codebase
(see here). I did see a build of XQuartz built to run on Tiger, but
it was pre-XQuartz 2.1.1, so I didn't trust it. I am wondering if
there are plans to release a full version of XQuartz for Tiger.
Yes, give us time. That is in the plans, but for now, we're focusing
on squashing bugs.
Would that solve binary incompatibility problems for future builds,
or would it break existing Tiger built binaries? Is the problem more
likely in broader Leopard API changes?
There's probably not any API changes whatsoever here. In fact, they
should work. Chances are they're just linked against the new
location. You can probably setup a /usr/X11 -> /usr/X11R6 symlink on
Tiger and it'll work.
