Re: [PD] osx universal binaries for externals ?

Hi,

On OSX, how can we build universal binaries for externals ? If not possible, both ppc and intel architecture use the .pd_darwin suffix...

the easiest approach is to make separate externals for each architecture (like ppc, ppc64, i386) and glue them together with lipo.

lipo -create myext.i386.pd_darwin myext.ppc.pd_darwin -output myext.pd_darwin

The flext build system uses a slightly different approach by compiling architecture-specific object files (because the compiler flags may be architecture-specific), use lipo to make UB object files and then call the linker with something like g++ -dynamic -arch i386 -arch ppc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -o myext.pd_darwin objectfiles....

greetings, Thomas
