Hi Michael,

currently we don't have a binary for PPC.
When you wanna compile it yourself you need at least cmake and Qt.
Since Qt 4.7 there no binaries for PPC are shiped any more, but
you could try 4.6:
ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.6.4.dmg

and use cmake from here
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Then have a look at INSTALL and first try to build in console by passing
-G"Unix Makefiles" to cmake. Be sure qmake could be run from the console.

And then hope Kst builds without errors. ;)

Creating a installable binary is more complex. But it is somehow possible
to do this on a Intel Mac by using universal binaries.
