 QT/E (2.3.5) and qtopia (1.6.1).
 Without them, I wouldn't be able to provide the port for OPIE to MacOS-X that fast..
 Thanks to Juergen Graf to debug this very generic README ! 
 
 Status:
 -------
+This work is done, do provide a development platform for Apple-Users! Please do not expect that you
+could create a productive Opie system for the Mac with it !!
+
 The basic system works quite well. But a lot of applications and plugins,
 which are platform specific, need some work to be compileable.
 
 What is ready:
 
 libqpe
 libopie1
-libopie2/opiedb
+libopie2
 pim-applications (addressbook, todolist, datebook, today)
 A lot of applications and plugins which are not platform specific.
 
-What will follow soon:
-
-libopie2 (libopiecore and libopiedb works already !)
-
 ToDO:
 -----
 There are some functions in the sourcecode which are not yet ported to Mac. If the 
 MacOS environment should be used for real productive work, the following functions 
 must be implemented correctly:

 (You may use the script "set_vars.sh" to set your variables successfully !
 BUT: You have to customize this script for YOUR needs !!)
 Go into the basic directory of Opie
 make menuconfig" 
 set "Build Parameters"->"Target Machine"->"Mac OS X (DARWIN)" to activate the platform specific changes.
 save and exit the menuconfig app
-make
+make  (ATTENTION: See Known Bugs below!!)
 
 You will see that a lot of applications and plugins/applets will not compile
 successfully, due to the fact that they are not ported to this platform.
 You may disable them to be able to compile the rest.
 
 Remember: A lot of configuration-settings are not tested and might fail to compile. 
 If you want to avoid misconfigurations, you may want to start with
 the config-file in this directory. Just copy "config_macosx" to $OPIEDIR/.config
 to get a working configuration to start with.
 
 (The missing apps/plugins will be ported on demand.)
 
+Known Bugs (compilation problems):
+-----------
+The Apple-Linker does not load indirect linked libraries automatically ( if somebody
+has a solution here, please inform me !!), therefore I had to add "-lopiedb2" and "-lqpe"
+for applications/libraries who used libraries which are linked against them.
+A goot solution would be to add it in the project files of these application, but this would
+influence the linux-platform as well... :(
+As a first (but stupid) solution, I added this linker parameter to the global "include.pro" 
+which adds them for everything.. Yes, also for libqpe etc.. 
+Therefore this project will not compile out of the box. You have to compile in a two-pass way:
+
+Pass 1: Find the line "LIBS += -lopiedb2 -lqpe" in the file include.pro and comment out it (put a "#" 
+        in front of it)
+	Do a "make -k" to compile what is already compileable (some will not compile)
+Pass 2: Remove the comment from Pass1 and do a "make". The rest should compile now successfully.
+
+
+I know, this is a silly solution ! But I don't have anything better without influence the Linux build 
+process too much .. I  would be happy, if somebody could help me here !
 
 SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PANTHER
 ----------------------------------------
 I had a lot of problems compiling qt-2.3.2 and QT/E-2.3.7 on Panther. The
 new release of the X-Server causes a lot of trouble..
