Compatibility with OS X 10.4

Hey guys. Seems that the release isn't compatible with OS X 10.4 Tiger. I generally run Linux but I was hoping to get this up and running on my wife's macbook pro. Is it possible to get a backwards compatible release? Pretty please?

I need libiconv.2.dylib v7.0.0, my system has v5.0.0

Error log:

I spent some time tinkering with this, but it does not look simply possible. For now, unfortunately you will need to upgrade to leopard if you want to run OpenRA.

OK Thanks for the update. There is a way to compile on OS X with 10.4 compatibility, but its a bit complicated and I'm not sure how your build process works.

Thanks!

If you install mono, Cg, and SDL manually and then build OpenRA from source (either from Mono-Develop, or by running `make` in the source directory - see the INSTALL document in the source distribution for details), I expect it should work. The problems i mention lie in the custom version of mono that we ship with our packaged build.
