It's ugly :)

I'm using Dan's autotools setup to build the i386 and ia64 MacOS versions,
and my own ad hoc system (makefile.mac) to build for PPC.

You should be able to build a combined i386, x86_64, and ppc binary using the auto tools setup when using the --enable-universal on a system with the 10.6 SDK:

./configure --enable-universal

At least we have that capability in place, but I've not had an old machine to be able to fully test it.

I was sorry to see the capability to recompile-within-the-app disappear
but I think the way the autotools build system works makes this much more
awkward (you have to run 'make install' to get the file tree in a state where
Pd can find its support files).

It should still be possible if copying in the symbolic links to the binaries in the bin folder and leave the actual binaries in the src folder. That was my thinking with adding a new flag to the sox-app.sh script to either create a "fat" or "slim" app.
