Awesome. A testament to writing portable software, I guess :-)

I will add these instructions to the website! Thanks.

I have started to work on more "normal" installation as a desktop
application for subsurface under Linux. Right now subsurface just finds
its icon in the current directory; I have expanded this on Linux to look
at the standards compliant system locations, first (and to install our
icon and a .desktop file at these locations through make install).

Where would an icon have to be installed on MacOS? And is there the
equivalent of a .desktop file for apps installed through macport?
