Re: [Gnumed-devel] GNUmed on MacOSX

[Busser, Jim]

Is it possible that

at the same time as MacPorts remains unable to build a solution under OS 10.6 
and 10.7 because of a combination of an interaction between newer Mac OS, and 
MacPorts's methods of operation, and wxpython's limitations...

there is a way to achieve it on Mac by building binaries through a method that 
DOES NOT DEPEND ON MacPorts, in other words that the impediment is specific to 
MacPorts' needs?
