Hello,

I implemented Vallorics suggestions for improvement

It works a lot better now

- All I need now is someone to try the build.

Sigil 0.1.2 has been released for MacPorts. It's only 1.6M in size as opposed to 28.3M for the DMG version.

Have fun

I see you're listing Sigil as x86_64 compatible for the MacPorts version. I'm not sure that will work out-of-the-box. See this page for details.

Basically, to work on x86_64, Qt needs to be compiled against Cocoa, not Carbon. I'm not sure the Qt version on MacPorts supports this. Have you tested this?

EDIT: The 32 bit Carbon version of Sigil should of course work without problems on x86_64 Macs.

Nope - I Qt itself does not compile - but that is not my task. The guys at MacPorts currently suggest to compile everything universal as well as quite a lot off stuff needs 32bit.

Unless you are into experimental stuff one should stay with 32bit for another month or so.
