I've been pushing builds of Bf for OS X for 2 days now, and I think I finally have it - although confirmation from someone with an OS X box would be appreciated. There were a few issues with my packaging:
One of the XML manifest files listed the wrong name for the VM - I fixed that
The OS X VM expects an image called 'resource.im', and I was shipping 'bottomFeeder.im'. I changed that
There's a known issue with some OS X networking setups that can cause a socket error when trying to get the host address. Since this happens at startup, it's kind of a problem. I've got a patch that works around that in the build
I'm hopeful that I've got this working; if so, I can move along to fighting with OS 9...
