Unfortunately the Mac installer build script doesn't seem to run at all
on Mac OS X 10.6 (at least not on my machine), but hopefully the
situation is clarified so that one of us who does still have Mac OS X
10.5 will be able to build the installer in a timely manner for the next
release should Ronald be too busy.
I'm not sure whether 10.5 would be sufficient - it may be that you need
to go back to 10.4 (*). Unfortunately, Apple manages to break
compatibility and portability with every release, which makes this
particular build task soooo tricky. You have to make all kinds of
decisions and compromises where are really difficult to keep track of.
In an earlier email Ronald said:
Creating the Mac installer is easy: just run
Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py on an OSX 10.5 system where a local
version of Tcl/Tk 8.4 is installed in /Library/Frameworks. The system
should also not have fink or darwinports and a clean /usr/local tree
to avoid contaminating the build.
I can't verify that this is correct, I can verify it that the
build-installer script doesn't appear to work under 10.6.

(*) I know that this is the version I had to go back to when I created
OSX binaries for 2.5.x.
