No official support for Mac OSX Tiger

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On the downloads page, it is specified that there are only builds for Mac OSX 
10.5+. However, using lazarus and the source code at from the download page, I 
built Transgui on my Mac running Tiger. It's really worked out great for me, 
and I'm wondering if I can provide my build for OSX 10.4 for people running 
older mac to use?

OSX 10.4 is outdated and has marginal market share according to this:

rame=last_6&interval=month&chart_id=4&fltr_br=&fltr_os=&fltr_se=&fltr_cn=&limit[
]=mac

You can post a link to your build here. Maybe it will be useful for someone.

Yeah, I agree that Tiger is pretty badly outdated (I only use it 'cause I 
must), but it's nice to have anyway.

Thank you for helping to support a legacy OS! I myself am using a 12" 
PowerBook, last generation with Tiger and have found my ways to make this 
system as usable as possible and so far it has worked out pretty fantastic. I'm 
always looking for new stuff for 10.4 and this seems like a thing I'd want to 
have, except it's compiled for Intel hardware. Could you please be so kind as 
to make a version for PPC as well? That'd really help a lot.

I don't actually have a PPC computer and no idea how to cross-compile. You 
could do what I did, ie. download and install Lazarus, and use that to compile 
it. http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_MacOS_X . Or, when I get 
to my Mac at home, I'll try to make a "fat binary" that you can use.

Sorry for the delay. Here it is, transgui 4.1 Universal. It's on Dropbox, 
because it's too big to upload here http://db.tt/ce2k67YD
