Update the information about getting Xcode, and note that
PKG_CONFIG_PATH must include /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig (the man page for
pkg-config 0.26 seems to indicate that pkg-config searches the
directories in PKG_CONFIG_PATH in addition to the standard
directories, so it might be sufficient to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to...

Add Joerg Mayer's macos-setup.sh script, modified to add an "x" after

to make the library version numbers variables, and to download the
optional libraries, by default, as well. Also add his patches to make...

Update to reflect that Tiger isn't the current OS X release.

Suggest that the user completely clean out their build trees and start
from scratch after an OS major version upgrade. (That might well be a
good idea on all UN*Xes.)

Note some issues that show up with support libraries on Snow Leopard due...

libethereal -> libwireshark. idl2eth -> idl2wrs. There are a lot of

We now try to detect OS X systems with a new libpcap but old headers,
and not try to use the shiny new routines on those systems, so you
shouldn't get the "`pcap_if_t' undeclared" error any more.

Set the svn:eol-style property on all text files to "native", so that
they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on...

Note that you need X11 and the X11 developer headers and libraries
installed in order to build Ethereal.

Michael Tuexen indicated how to successfully build GTK+ 2.4 on Mac OS X

of GLib/Pango/GTK+/ATK and to give instructions on how to make them...

To build with GLib 2.x/GTK+ 2.x, you need to configure with
--enable-gtk2 regardless of whether you have GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x]

It's Mac OS, not MacOS.

Note that Ethereal doesn't work on pre-X Mac OS, in case somebody sees
