No packages for Mac OS X PPC #903

Please provide Arora packages for Mac OS X 10.5 on PowerPC architecture.
For older Macs it should be a lightweight alternative to Safari and Firefox.

I have successfully built Arora 0.11.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 PPC using MacPorts, 
although it took hours:

1. Install Xcode
2. Install MacPorts
3. Type: sudo port install arora
4. Wait a long time until qt4-mac and other requisites will build

I am attaching a binary package.

Hi jerzyglowacki,
My system is 10.5 PPC without Xcode or MacPorts. I'm looking for a light weight 
browser. I tried your Arora build, but failed to launch it.
The error reported that libQtWebKit.4.dylib is missing. So I downloaded this 
library file some where from the internet (don't remember which site, but it 
claimed to be an universal package), and put it in /opt/local/lib/. However, 
this didn't fix the problem. Another error came out, saying "no suitable image 
found" although the library file was found. Looks like the libQtWebKit.4.dylib 
I had downloaded is not usable in PPC architechure.

Could you post this file from your system? Maybe it will help.

I am sending my libQtWebKit.4.dylib file but I am not sure if it will do. The 
best option is to build it by yourself.

Would it be possible to build for 10.3.9 PPC?
