Hi Falko,

Your message did get through, to me at least, via Charles and Neil.

I added the libtiff argument to the build instructions, thanks.

The crash you describe is seen by other people too. It's caused by 
wxView::GetFrame() returning a NULL pointer. XaraLX assumes that 
wxView::GetFrame will return a good pointer to a frame window, because 
it told wxWidgets to create an MFC-style window framework. It looks to 
me like wxWidgets is behaving differently on the Mac than it does when 
configured for GTK so I suspect a wxWidgets problem but I haven't looked 
into it properly yet.
