Anyone know anything about Mac OS X Universal builds? The Pd- extended and Pd build systems need to be updated to a sane, Mac OS X- style universal build system. Right now, each does different things, and neither is correct. :D
I am scared to face it alone :'-(

Heh.. :) As far as I understand it's basically a matter of adding these gcc arguments: "-arch i386 -arch ppc"
Or alternatively compiling two separate versions and combining them with the "lipo" tool.
However I've had some trouble in the past with machines that are not configured correctly to cross-compile. (Hence the second method, which is sometimes easier, using an actual ppc machine and an actual i386 machine.) But I think if XCode has been installed recently it should work.

I consider it a feature that they are separate.
There are some advantages to having them separate. It think overall, it'll make life easier. Plus you can always strip a universal package to just one CPU type.

I see from the CVS log that you've postponed the Universal build. Maybe the download stats of the new release can be used as a pointer wrt if it makes life easier. If there is a great imbalance then it might be nicer, from a users perspective, to keep them separate.
I wont bother you with it no more - no worries.
Best, Steffen

Well, it's a question of doing the work... it turned out to be not that easy, and I'm sick of build issues :)
