As long as you can recognise that youre on your own in the woods when it comes to MacOS install, thats fine. I dont think any of the devs use e17 on Mac so no-one even bothers testing. The fact that its compiled so far is fairly miraculous to say the least. Glad to have helped! And make sure you login to freenode next time you need help in IRC, otherwise no-one will hear you. :)
