Chandler doesn't build on MacOS X v10.4 (Tiger). Solving this problem without causing further "upset" is continuing to require effort. Here's an update...

The component issues have been identified and most are resolved, thanks to the efforts of Andi, Bear and others.

Some issues still remain:

1) deployment - It appears as though we will have to make a decision on
continuing to support Panther (v10.3) development. Supporting both
Pather and Tiger is likely to require another 1-2 build machines and the
maintenance of another set of release binaries. Dropping Panther support
at this date may inconvenience a significant portion of the non-OSAF
Chandler dev't community.

2) PyLucene - this component doesn't build on Tiger and the current
build environment. Andi has addressed the major issues, but the
necessary components haven't been added to CVS, specifically a version
of GCJ compatible with Tiger's gcc. Developers needing to perform full
builds on Tiger would then make GCJ_VER changes to their
"external/makefile.inc", followed by "make compilers".

The following high-priority tasks blocked by lack of Tiger build capability are:
- Core Graphics enabled builds
- Bug 2956: TextCntl text not rendered on initial render


There are also 1-2 less important tasks blocked.
