Hi Philippe. I'm the person who added the comment. Obviously, it worked
for me, hence having the "commentor" confirm that it worked is actually
redundant :) I do build Haiku under OSX, since it's much faster than with
Zeta. I then transfer the image to where I need it.
To answer your question, you would need a 3rd person to confirm that the
"comment" is valid :) As far as I can recall, I did some research before
posting that comment.
Cheers.
