[ptx] MacOS X and autopano

[Ippei UKAI]

Hi Hal,

Unfortunately the world is that simple. Although, as you said,  
the .Net programs do not depend on machines, autopanog.exe depends on  
GTK# which is not easily installable on Mac.

Vlada,

Have you taken a look at the text file (HuginOSX/tools/autopano-sift/ 
HOWTO-autopanosift.txt) comes with HuginOSX? In order to use autopano- 
sift, you can either
  - use PutAutopanoSiftToHuginOSX.app to put autopano-sift files into  
HuginOSX.app bundle, and make sure you do not specify any file that  
exists in hugin preferences as the autopano-sift location.
or
  - make the script working on its own and specify that script in the  
preferences.

hope this helps,
Ippei
