The basic problem is that both Hub and I are using 10.2 these days, though
maybe Hub has access to 10.1 - but as far as the Cocoa port is concerned,
I think 10.2 is the supported target.
The 1.0.3 release of XAbiWord was marked as Jaguar because it didn't work
on 10.0.4; I wasn't able to test it on 10.1.
The mini-distribution I have that allows building 1.1.x is probably Jaguar
only, although I don't know of any reason why it couldn't be re-done on
10.1 - again, I have no way to test the result.
I'll get around to 1.0.4 (or probably 1.0.5) at some point. The machine I
use is kinda buried at the moment. I did the 1.1.x build & dependencies on
my iBook and that took nearly 2 whole days - if time is money then I
should be charging serious amounts!
The website should probably be updated to say 10.2.
Ah, yes... Apple's X11 beta requires 10.2.3, I believe. Reason enough to
upgrade...
