I just updated the link for "Installing Evergreen on Mac" on the
downloads page to point at
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_client#building_a_macintosh_staff_client
It's a slightly newer set of instructions that Mike Peters recently
helped to put together. We'll probably want to flesh out some more
specific details regarding compatible xulrunner versions based on
version of Evergreen.

Like so much else in this project, from my perspective, it is lack of
time. The Balsam libraries, especially the public schools have a
number of Macs and I did build an osX client for 2.0.9. My next
upgrade will be a jump to 2.2 probably during this quarter. At that
time I'll create a 2.2 staff client of osX out of necessity. Between
Sitka and Balsam and a few others there are some osX clients around
however. Tony, your help would be Greatfully accepted!
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I've got an OSX iMac to help volunteer with! I can't say I'm a
OSX guru, but really good at following instructions! If anyone
wants to work with me, I could probably devote some hours to
helping out, at least testing, etc. I think I've got Xcode (?)
installed somewhere on my iMac....

I don't think it's a strategy per se, just more a lack of
volunteers.
If somebody were to step forward and volunteer to package OS X
clients
as part of the release-cutting process, I think that would be
welcomed
with open arms. Even better would be if somebody could submit
a patch
to automate building them. Triple-word-score if it could be done
without requiring an OS X box.
Similiarly, if somebody were to step up and get involved in
packing
the Linux clients for various distributions, that would be
great. The
technical bar is lower, as Thomas' good work with the staff client
autoupdate mechanism means that it's become quite easy to
build Linux
clients; at this point the main question is whether somebody
is up to
maintaining and testing .deb or ..rpm.
Regards,
Galen
