Thank you very much Sherif,

Thant gave me the courage to try to build ipe on my MacBookPro under
SL. Unfortunately, I am meeting problems while following your
instructions:

- qmake refuses the option -recursive in the line qmake -spec macx-g++
-recursive

and if I try to make by using qmake without this option (thinking that
it is by default, since the help of qmake proposes the opposite option
-norecursive), I get other problems:

cd image && make -f Makefile
c++ -c -pipe -m32 -Wall -W -Os -fPIC  -DQT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII
-DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -I/sw/lib/qt3/mkspecs/macx-g++ -I.
-I../../include -I/include -o ../../../build/obj/ipelets/image.o
image.cpp
image.cpp:33:23: error: QFileDialog: No such file or directory

and other similar messages about other components, until

image.cpp:286: error: ‘QFile’ was not declared in this scope
image.cpp:286: error: ‘file’ was not declared in this scope
image.cpp:287: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘{’ token
make[2]: *** [../../../build/obj/ipelets/image.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [sub-image] Error 2
make: *** [sub-ipelets] Error 2

These messages are strange because, I have installed the QT-SDK you indicate.

I am new to OSX, and hence, followed scrupulously your indications
until that point...

Any idea about these problems?

> Bugs:
>
> Almost everything works perfectly, but there are a few quirks if
> one launches ipe from the terminal or by dired-do-shell-command
> (key: "!") in emacs dired mode.
>
> -- The ipe window appears second from the top of the window stack,
>   underneath the terminal (or emacs) window.
>
> -- The ipe icon appears at the tail end of the Meta-Tab sequence.
>   Hint: Type Meta-Tab, Meta-`, Meta-` (or Meta-Tab then point with
>   the mouse) to reach it.
>
> -- In the Meta-Tab sequence, ipe appears with the (ugly) generic
>   program icon rather than ipe's icon.
>
> All is well if ipe is launched from the dock.
>
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Keys:
>
> To access the object-properties menu use CTRL-AppleKey-MouseButton on
> a single-button mouse and AppleKey-RightButton on a two-button mouse.
>
> To end a path use CTRL-MouseButton on a single-button mouse and
> RightButton on a two-button mouse.
>
> Perhaps the nicest feature of running ipe on a Mac rather than on
> Windows is that two-finger swipes perform a zoom in/zoom out. It is
> very handy to zoom into a detail, modify something, then zoom out,
> recenter (x), and repeat. The same can be done with the scroll wheel
> of a mouse if one is attached.

> Installing MacTeX: 2GB; Qt: 2GB; XCode: 2GB; MacPorts: 1GB.

> useful: priceless. There are some things money can't buy, for
> everything else there's a BiggerDrive.
