[Motmot] running flytrax on Mac OS X

[Swidbert R. Ott]

Dear Andrew,

Thank you very much for your reply -- I fully understand time limitations mean you cannot troubleshoot Framewave on OSX.
I think my basic problem is not knowing how to build, I didn't get as far as finding out whether Framewave works with motmot.  I'd be equally lost with linking to the Intel IPP.

But you may find it helpful to know that Intel seem to have put the kibosh on anything free for OS X (demo aside), and that the IPP is now only sold as part of their compiler package for OS X.

Best, 

Swidbert
