Sorry, those instructions were out of date. Package building for Unix
and Windows is now handled by the Nmap makefiles. The scripts in
install_scripts don't have to do with building packages anymore. I have
updated install_scripts/README in Subversion.

Zenmap on Mac OS X is a work in progress. See
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0497.html for Fyodor's request for
a .app package and
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0490.html for how to override
PYTHON to use a Fink or MacPorts Python installation. But you may be
better off waiting for a package because Mac OS X is missing many of
Zenmap's dependencies.
