here the last period was meant to be a question mark. >> if the latter, it doesn't matter. > > Well, I think the former is the problem, and if you can't built it on > 10.3, then you won't be using 10.3 builds. this i don't understand. if nobody has built on 10.3 for ages, than this is one thing. i have not much feedback about the OSX versions people are actually using. it's been a long time since the last person complained about not being ableto run Gem on 10.3. this might have two reasons: - no Gem user uses 10.3 any more - Gem does work on 10.3 - something else then: i thought the "-mmacosx-version-min=10.3" kind of ensures that the build will run on 10.3 even if you are building on 10.5. is this a misconception on my side? if not, this means that even if you can't build on 10.3, people might still be using 10.3 builds. i (think that i) don't have access to a 10.3 machine, so i cannot really test. but i would like to not change anything because of mere speculations. >>> issues if things are built for the most recent supported version (i.e. >>> 10.4). >> >> which "issues"? > > > Like newer OSes included freetype, which Gem will link against unless > forced not to. that should read "OSXes" rather than "OSes", right? anyhow: i didn't know that freetype was included in OSX since 10.4 (or 10.5, if that matters) if Gem still runs on 10.3, i would like to keep it like that. the official binaries are linking statically against ftgl/freetype, so the deployment issue is not a big deal. for PdX builds, you could change the osx-min-version. a command line argument to ./configure to specify an alternative "osx-min-version" would be a good idea. fg,asdr IOhannes
