The first and most serious problem was that the include folder is not in the mac source included in the distribution. As a Mac programmer, I recommend that you dispense with using an installer, and switch to zip files. Mac programmers know where to install things, and they might not want them installed in the root Library. Most likely for development they want to either build it themselves, or put it into their user account Library. Alternately, provide install options, but really, it's the wrong approach. Installers are for end users. Please make the source (and project) available as separate downloads. Assuming the Mac project is in the SVN repo, of course I could have just gone there and probably wouldn't have had to download the Windows zip separately just to get the headers, but it's nice to have a release version without mucking with SVN. Anyway, svn is obsolete. Consider mercurial or git. When I build the demos in the Mac project, I get around 50,000 warnings, to do with API visibility conflicts. I am not much of a C++ coder, so I don't know exactly what that means or how to fix it--it's a linker warning, not a compiler warning. A few of the demos don't build at all without fixing the build settings--they don't have a search path for the library. Personally, I found it easier to make some changes at the root project level and remove most of the custom settings for the various demos, including switching to build for the current OS and the current architecture (not much point in building a universal binary for a debug build). Thanks for making this available for Mac, though. I appreciate it. I don't think I'm going to use it as is, but I am using it to learn about architectural ideas for 3D engines. -Brent[/quote]
