Dear Developers of Processing,

Yesterday, I built Processing (version 0143) from its source code on my Macintosh
(iBook G4). The build procedure failed. I analyzed the log and modified the file processing/build/macosx/make.sh as follows:

With this modification, the build procedure works fine to make Processing.app.

Sincerely yours,
Satoshi Adachi

thanks very much, i've incorporated your patch, please let us know if there
are further problems.

Thank you very much for your rapid response.
I have just downloaded the source code of Processing again and have invoked
make.sh. This time, everything is fine. I have confirmed that the problem is
now fixed. Satoshi Adachi

thanks again for your help.
