Download Irrlicht 1.8 and compile it for 32 bits. Compiling Irrlicht was easy in Xcode and if you get problems I might be able to help.

Why are you asking for him? He already asked this question a while ago, the answer was no. I tried to cross-compile for him. You're better off trying to use the Launchpad PPA for Minetest, combined with using a PPC build.

ok if the build in not compileable then forget it.

Have you taken a look at Launchpad?

There's already a buildscript up on Launchpad. Feel free to tweak it for PPC. Unfortunately, I'm busy around this time with competitions, and can't do that now.

Try to look into compiling a bit. Someone else compiling for you gets more complicated as libraries have to be included, but if you or your friend do it yourselves we can proably help with the snags.

Building for 10.3 or 10.4 PPC may well turn out to be fairly troublesome. But not impossible. One thought I had was to get minetest accepted into MacPorts, which would be good for me (10.7 at the moment) - but I'm not sure they aim to support 10.5 (Leopard) and before. Someone enterprising may want to consider listing minetest on the Apple App store, I'd be happy to pay a few dollars for someone _else_ to build and package for the Mac - but I suspect that's only for 10.6 onwards.
