LEOPARD INSTALL

    Just bought Leopard today and installed it on an external firewire
    connected to my 512MB intel mac book pro so that it boots off the external.
    (I want to keep my internal HD's Tiger install intact).

    No problems there.

PRECOMPILED UNIV BINARIES TESTED ON LEOPARD

    Brought over all my pre-compiled commercial software, all universal apps
    with a mix of daemons, command line tools, and FLTK 1.1.x guis wrapped as
    .app bundles. All work normally.

    My open source binaries for "nixieclock" also seems to run OK too,
    which is also a .app bundle.

COMPILE OF FLTK 1.1.x FROM SCRATCH USING XCODE3

    Installed the Leopard compiler option (Xcode3) from the DVD,
    and did an SVN install of the latest svn of fltk-1.1.x and ran
    'make distclean; make' which built native intel binaries on my box.

    All compiled fine, no warnings. 'buttons' and 'glpuzzle' ran fine.

RUN OF FLTK LEOPARD/INTEL COMPILED BINARIES ON INTEL/TIGER

    Saved the above binaries built on Leopard to my linux file server,
    rebooted the same intel machine back into the older Tiger OS, and
    tried to run the FLTK leopard binaries from the linux file server.

    I can confirm the 'Bus Error' Jean-Yves reported.

    I didn't try recompiling FLTK with the -mmacosx-version-min=10.3
    flag he recommended, but I'm sure it works as he says.

GENERAL LEOPARD NOTES

    Some notes about leopard as I poke at it:

        o There were two versions of Leopard available from the local Apple 
store:

                "single host" -- $129.00USD gets you an install on one machine
                "family"      -- $199.00USD gets you to install on up to 5 
machines

        o It installed fine on the external firewire, no weirdness

        o Mounted my linux file server from the Leopard box with a regular
          'mount' command, no weirdness

        o Enabled the root user; you have to use something called 'Directory 
Utility'
          now to enable the root user. If you just run the Mac's 'help' and 
search for 'root'
          it tells you how to do it. Similar to the old Net Info technique.

        o "Net Info" is gone in Leopard.
