Also, since you have an Intel Mac, you should be able to install and run
the PowerPC version of FPC and Lazarus too and create PowerPC
executables without cross-compiling. One issue would be figuring out how
to install two versions of FPC since these file locations are kind of
hardwired right now. Perhaps FPC could be put in an app bundle too or
made more relocatable than it is now.
If you're able to compile PowerPC executables maybe you could look into
creating a "universal binary" app bundle that contains both the Intel
and PowerPC executables and compiled units. If that's possible then
Lazarus could theoretically be distributed as a universal binary instead
of separate versions for Intel and PowerPC.
AFAIK, fpc 2.1.4 for IntelMac has a cross compiler for powerpc and so do
the intel snapshots for Lazarus. What doesn't happen automatically in
Lazarus is the creation of Universal binaries, but I think it is
possible with the IntelMac snashots to compile both powerpc and intel
binaries and lipo them together manually.
Needs testing though, I haven't heard anybody doing this yet.
