What was MacViceBuilder?

MacViceBuilder was an external set of tools to build a Mac version of the famous VICE emulator suite.

It provided the following features:

Automatically compiles everything from source
Universal Binaries for PowerPC and Intel Macs are created
For each emulator a bundled Application is created that starts up on single click
Launches required X11 automatically
Shows both console and emulator window

What happened to MacViceBuilder?

Starting with version 1.20 of VICE I am the official maintainer of the Mac port and as a first operation in my new duty I added all MacViceBuilder stuff to the official distribution. Just have a look at the build/macosx directory. The make-ub.sh script completely replaces MacViceBuilder.

All patches provided on this page are now integrated into VICE 1.20.
