[OT] Mac Os X 10.3.9

[OT] Mac Os X 10.3.9

[luigi scarso]

I have an (old, I suppose) Mac pc on my desk.
It works, but I don't know anything about it
apart that it looks like a *nix from terminal.
It has  has also Emacs !

I would like to use TeXLive or at least ConTeXt minimals and FontForge
but it think I need at least a compiler first...

Any help really appreciate.

About the minimals: you won't be able to use them unless you start
compiling the binaries yourself. At the moment I build the binaries on
10.6 and Apple provides backward compatibility for only two versions
back. They want the users to keep buying new hardware and software on
regular basis. Even if the old processor still runs fine, you won't be
able to install any program any more, so you are forced to buy a new
machine.

If we wanted to support 10.3 (we theoretically could, but practically
never got any single request until now), someone would need to compile
the binaries on 10.5 or earlier version of OS X. TeX live does support
10.3 on PPC.

Compiler ... you need XCode 1.x (and a bit of creativity to find it).

If you can't find it, tell me off-list; I guess there's an old CD here
anywhere...
(Didn't you get the original OSX CDs that came with your Mac?)
