The current configure script also builds for only one architecture. >I don't know if we can have the same Xcode project for every versions >of Mac OS X the project wants to support. >I would just support the latest version of OS X and as much as >possible of older versions.

PowerPC is supported by libusbx already, both by the code and configure script. Removing support just because of Xcode is crazy, especially since the whole need for Xcode is only when building from git. With today's configure script, the user still has to do some setup if he wants a specific compiler, specific architectures, SDK, deployment targets, etc. I have seen in many open source projects in the past where they meant well and set a specific SDK version or compiler version in their Xcode project. Then a few releases later, the gcc 4.2 compiler and 10.5 SDK are gone and the project won't build. The only sensible thing, for both forward and backward compatibility, is to let Xcode pick its default compiler, default SDK, default architecture, and default deployment target. Notice that's also how the configure script works today! Nowhere in there is it forced to build x86_64 instead of i386, etc. I agree its weird that today's Xcode seems to build 32 by default even on a 64 bit system, but that probably won't be true in future Xcodes. How about we add some instructions and a place to specify custom values, like this: <https://github.com/seanm/libusbx/commit/662e2e4ecb64c206ac4b5239dcf8d00959428ea1> Cheers, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
