I have created a simple NSWindow with an NSTextField and an NSButton in Interface Builder on Leopard. I set the window background color in my program.

First I wanted to build the DBD::mysql package. That kept failing because whatever make resulted in could not be loaded for the tests with a Symbol not found: _is_prefix. So I assumed that cpan might be a tad old. I know it's a random assumption, but cpan did tell me to install the latest Bundle::CPAN. Who's successfully installed eithe...

Mac OS X Tiger vs Leopard usage pervasiveness - any study?

I need to decide whether I should support Mac OS X 10.4 / Tiger, and the decision likely hinges on what percentage of mac users are still running Tiger.

Errors Installing PIL on Mac OS Tiger

I'm trying to install the Python Imaging Library on Mac OS X 10.4, but I get errors. I'm not sure where the error starts, it's just a huge wall of text when executing sudo python setup.py install.

How can I compile GCC on a mac so compiled executables will work on earlier versions of OS X?

I'm attempting to build a program (Dwarf Fortress) that uses C++0x features that aren't well supported in the latest Leopard version of XCode.
