The way I had been approaching an addition of 64-bit Darwin to GUB was that, due to the Xcode restrictions, on non-Apple hardware GUB would compile all non-Darwin targets and simply ignore requests for Darwin targets, perhaps with a warning. In order to produce a Darwin release, someone would need to install GUB on a Mac and run the Darwin build from there. This would mean that Darwin binaries might lag behind other architectures until someone with a Mac could get around to producing a build. To my understanding this is no different than an application *providing* GPU acceleration capabilities but not requiring it; it does not mean that someone without a GPU cannot run the software, just that they are not using features irrelevant to their hardware. We would be *providing* the option to build Darwin *if* on a Mac, not requiring a Mac for GUB to run. If this is still too much of an ask then perhaps I am missing some finer point. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
