Hello:

I have successfully compiled RenderD on OS X. I don't have (nor do I 
particularly want for fear of making a mess *grin*) commit rights, but 
I think this might be useful to someone more knowledgable.

Here is my edit to the Makefile in renderd:
In "platform dependent parts:
----
ifeq ($(OS),darwin)
     NAN_DEPEND = true
     # Static libraries:
     LIBS = $(NSPR)/lib/libplc4.a $(NSPR)/lib/libnspr4.a
     # If you used PTH instead of EMU NSPR you also need:
     LIBS += -lpthread
endif
----
Mind you, I had to use a bash script to define $OS because the existing 
one was mis-identifying my system.

Everything runs fine... but when I fire up renderd in the same 
directory as the blender executable, I get:
----

My only thought here is that launching ./blender from the command line 
generates a window that takes no input whatsoever. This window never 
appears when running ./renderd, so I have to assume that blender never 
fires up properly. My thought is that without a flag to tell it to run 
in the background, blender fails to startup like this.

If this sounds reasonable, can someone add a flag to blender that will 
tell it not to create the GUI? To essentially do the same thing as the 
"-b" option except don't expect a file right away.

Thanks,

-Doug
