Build Notes
Update in Progress – There may be inconsistencies and problems until it's finished
The version listed is what the instructions refer to, there may be a more recent version. Many depend on a previous library being installed.
Each major OSX version has its own section in the notes. Builds are not meant to be backwards-compatible for older OSX versions, but are generally forwards-compatible with later versions. Tiger builds are universal. Leopard builds are quad-arch universal 32+64bits. Compilation uses the ccub trick when needed. See the Universal & 64bit notes for more info.
Framework Support
These are needed only when compiling the frameworks (GDAL only, really) from source.
