Hi Jordi,

I am now able to build on Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) using Fink package management 
for the dependencies. I am able to run the GUI, including the qt toolkit, but 
off screen printing (osmesa) does not work.

A few patches are needed, and I’m hoping to find the time to push some of them, 
but haven’t yet found the time.

Sebastian Schops has managed to build on Homebew. Perhaps he’ll have time to 
help Brian.
