[mapserver-users] Mapserver binary for MacOS X

I successfully compiled a basic build of Mapserver 3.5 on MacOS X 10.1.3. It
has png, jpeg, bmp, ttf support... I tested the binary on my daughter's iMac
which has no dev tools or other libraries, and Mapserver works just fine...
hums along. 

That means, I can give out the binary without having to have the user worry
about gd or libpng, etc. If anyone is interested, please email me and I will
mail you the file. It is about 650 kb. In any case, I would be very
interested in knowing the count of MacOS X users on the Mapserver list.

I am trying to build a more comprehensive version with the kitchen sink in
it (gdal, proj, postgis, etc.). Once I am successful I will build an install
package using PackageMaker. That way the end-user will be able to
double-click install the binary, any needed dependencies, as well as the
itasca demo in the correct places (assuming the standard OS X layout).
