Re: [Bug-ddrescue] ddrescueview update

[Martin Bittermann]

Hi John,

I don't have a Mac, but the straightforward thing I would try is to 
install Lazarus 1.4 for Mac OSX from http://www.lazarus-ide.org/ , open 
the ddrescueview project and hit 'Run'->'Compile'.

There is also a Fink port for version 0.3.
http://www.finkports.info/ports/utils/ddrescueview.html
See if you can alter the porting information there to build the 0.4a 
version of ddrescueview.

I'd be interested in any problems you run into, especially if they seem 
to be caused by changes from the 0.4a version.

On a side note, I'm currently in the process of writing some 
documentation for ddrescueview. I'd love to include some more hints on 
compilation (for mac too, if you/someone can provide them). On windows 
and linux it just works with a single click out of the Lazarus IDE, 
which is why the chapter on compilation is still very short. Also, there 
will be a new version for testing in a few days.

Best regards,
Martin
