[AG-TECH] Building AG for Mac Via the Command-Line

[Ashnil Kumar]

Thanks for your help so far everyone.

I have BuildSnapshot.py running right now (r_2_3_final). I have run  
across the following error messages:

Calling build script:  VideoService.build.py
** Error: Unsupported platform: darwin
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "VideoService.build.py", line 25, in ?
     VIC_EXE_PATH = os.path.join(servicesDir,VIC_EXE)

BuildSnapshot keeps working however. Is there anyway in which I can fix  
the above errors?

Thanks,
Ashnil
