Re: OsiriX [Was: environment]

[Philip G Batchelor]

Hi

Thanks a lot, I justc ompiled, and indeed, pbxbuild worked. Trying 
Osirix , but I guess the signs are not so good then. Just feels such a 
popular tool, with a name ending in *ix should be possible!

(For the moment, Osirix compilation fails at  'libkern/OSByteOrder.h: No 
such file or directory' but that was a first attempt,
I'll try more).

Cheers
Ph
