Hi Everyone, I've been testing our code on Darwin 9/Leopard:
Good news: it works and we can actually create universal binaries:
.libs/libapr-1.0.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
.libs/libapr-1.0.dylib (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically
linked shared library ppc
.libs/libapr-1.0.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically
linked shared library i386
.libs/libapr-1.0.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit
dynamically linked shared library x86_64
Bad news:
1) The autoconf code that selects the int_value and long_value aren't
consistent for all three architectures (ppc/i386/x86_64). It should be
choosing long_value="long long" but it's picking "long" instead,
probably because that would also be correct on my i386/x86_64 machine.
That'll need to be fixed.
2) The atomics code breaks presumably because the compiler/linker
tries to link the same asm in all three architectures. Workaround: --
enable-nonportable-atomics=no
How did I do it:
./buildconf
CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -pipe -Wall -g" \
LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -pipe" \
./configure --enable-nonportable-atomics=no
make clean
make
make install
I'll poke around in the autoconf code to see if I can fix the
int_value/long_value selector, but so far I haven't had any
inspirations. As for the atomics issue I'm not sure how to solve this,
any ideas?
