Hi Sabastian,

I'm also running Yosemite.

I'm able to build and run the stable branch using Fink for the dependencies. 
I'm also able to build and run on Macports. However using Macports, I 
experienced some crashes.

The default branch does not compile for me on Yosemite, but I am (was) able to 
build and run on Mavericks.

Regarding prebuild app, my recollection is that Carlo was planning to use 
Macports and build on Mavericks.
