+### Important NOTE after downloading .app file
+
+When an application gets downloaded from any source other than those that Apple seems suited, the application gets an extended attribute "com.apple.Quarantine".
+This triggers the message: "application XY is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin."
+
+Remove the attribute and you can launch the application.
+
+So after download: open a console and type:
+```
+$ xattr -c <path/to/application.app>
+```
+After that you can run the App as usual.
+
+
+
+### You must Install XeTeX separately
+
+You *must* install XeTeX with brew (Homebrew), see https://brew.sh/ else it will not work.
+
+```
+% brew install xetex
+```
+
+This will install XeTeX with binaries:
+
+```
+/usr/local/bin/fc-list
+/Library/TeX/texbin/xetex
+/Library/TeX/texbin/xdvipdfmx
+```

+# How to compile and run PTXprint on macOS for macOS with Intel chips
+
+Date: 2026-05may-28
+
+## Distribution
+
+You can find an App binary here:
+https://github.com/flagsoft/ptx2pdf/blob/master/distribution/readme.md
+
+## Ideas for future versions
+
+- Maybe there should be a Settings > TeTeX path input box where user can setup which TeTeX will be used.
+
+## Instructions
+
+- Just follow the instructions in the script below.
+
+## Issues
+- The created .app within the DMG does not work (but the .app outside the dmg does work)
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+## -- mac-build-intel.sh
+## status: works
+##
+## History
+## 2026-05may-28, seems to work for build .app but not app within .dmg.
+## - The generated App WITHIN DMG is BAD and will not work. Does nothing. App does not show, but seems to use CPU forever.
+##   (But the created .app outside the DMG will work)
+##
+## Instructions
+## 1. install brew (Homebrew) on your macOS and the following packages:
+##   % brew install gtk+3
+##   % brew install  gtksourceview3
+##   % brew install xetex
+##   % npm install -g appdmg
+##
+## 2. for some reason a font is hard coded, so install it:
+##   https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Code+Pro
+##   Just double click on all font files within macOS Finder to install fonts
+##
+## 3. follow the instructions here
