 Information about porting Opie to MacOS-X (eilers)
 ==================================================
 
 Credits:
 --------
 
 Special thanks to Andreas Junghans (webmaster@lucid-cake.net) for its patches for qt-X11 (2.3.2), 
 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:
 -------
 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
 pim-applications (addressbook, todolist, datebook, today)
 A lot of applications and plugins which are not platform specific.
 
 What will follow soon:
 
 libopie2 
 
 
 How to compile Opie for MacOS-X:
 -------------------------------
 
 Before compiling for MacOS-X, you need the following:
 
         1. X11-Server+X11SDK            (Provided by Apple)
         2. QT-2.3.2 for X11             (Provided by Trolltech)
         3. QT/E-2.3.7                   (Provided by Trolltech)
         4. Patches for QT-2.3.2 for MacOSX   (take the one in this directory !)
         5. Patches for QT/E-2.3.7 for MacOSX (take the one, provided in $OPIEDIR/qt)
 
 The Patch for QT-2.3.2 is provided in this directory and is called "qt232-X11.patch".
 
 The Patch for QT/E for Opie, including all other opie-patches is available in the
 qt-directory ($OPIEDIR/qt) and is called "qte237-all-macosx.patch".
 
 Please read further, how to compile the stuff.
 
 HOWTO COMPILE:
 -------------
 
 Compile QT-2.3.2:
 
 Go to into the basic directory of qt-2.3.2 and enter 
 export QTDIR=`pwd`
 export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
 ./configure -no-xft -platform darwin-g++
 make
 After compiling successful (I hope) you need qvfb:
 cd tools/qvfb
 make
 
 Compile QT/E-2.3.7:
 
 Got to into the basic directory of qt-2.3.2 and enter 
 export QTDIR=`pwd`
 export QPEDIR=$QTDIR
 export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
 ./configure -platform darwin-generic-g++ -qconfig qpe -qvfb -depths 4,8,16,32
 make
 
+Now create a link for the uic of qt-2.3.2 into the bin-directory of qt/e 2.3.7 ! 
+Otherwise OPIE will fail to compile !
+
 Compile OPIE:
 Set your environment
 (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
 
 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.)
 
 
 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.. 
 
 To compile QT-2.3.2 successfully, you have to disable support of freetype fonts and you have
 to use the patch in this directory, otherwise your wont't be able to compile !
 Use the param "-no-xft" for the configure script to disable this function !
 
 Information for Developers:
 ---------------------------
 
 1. Platform specific code should be surrounded by
 #ifdef Q_OS_MACX
 MACOS-X CODE
 #else
 OTHER-CODE
 #endif
 
 2. The Plugin-Handling by MacOS-X is different than it is by Linux. 
 On linux-systems, shared libraries are not different to dynamic loaded libraries
 (aka plugins). They just are different whether they are loaded automatically
 at startup or manually by any application.
 On MacOS-X, the plugins are loaded by a special mechanism and must be in a special
 binary format. Therefore you have to add the term "plugin" to the CONFIG-clause, as 
 for instance:
