[tomboy-list] Developing Tomboy for OS X

[Sandy Armstrong]

Will have to look more at this later, but in the past I had to build the
Tomboy project, then each add-in project...I would get errors if I tried
to rebuild the whole solution.  Not sure what's up with it.  Try and see
if that works for you?

I'm going to give up and just get the makefiles working, probably
(following Banshee's example).  Then you'll be able to build via MD's
makefile integration, but you'll have to run autogen.sh first.  Just
need some time to sit down and do it.
