Yesterday I submitted to MacPorts new Portfiles for frescobaldi and
python-poppler-qt4.
There's a couple of small changes that are needed, but I hope they
will be approved soon.
After they are in MacPorts' repository, frescobaldi should be easier to install.
It will essentially be a matter of two/three MacPorts commands (plus
maybe install Qsynth as a fluidsynth GUI and a soundfont for MIDI
support): no more manually compiling the software.
(I know, Mac users are more used to single packages you can download
and copy in /Application/ folder. MacPorts is not that simple, but I
would still say it is easy to use.)
I will announce on this list when the Portfiles will be approved and
available to all users.
