> I attempt to give here a quick prescription for building xcd 1.5.24 using external libraries provided by the MacPorts system: http://www.macports.org/ . [Remember why this is potentially useful: you can use, e.g., libraries which are tweaked for your particular architecture; macports is also well maintained.]  Because this process has been spread out over many weeks, I undoubtedly have forgotten to specify something; please let me know if so.  I built this under Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard); I'll follow up if things are significantly different under Lion (10.7).
