Never heard of it. > Also, just how patched is the Xcode compiler? Apple's patches are freely available, I believe.

Apple's patches allow gcc to accept multiple simultaneous arch flags, e.g. "gcc -arch i386 -arch ix86_64" to generate both at the same time. Standard gcc does not have this ability; instead, you have to "gcc -arch i386", then "gcc -arch x86_64", then "lipo" manually. For ports that require a non-Apple gcc compiler, universal builds are probably possible using the muniversal portgroup, which does this build-and-lipo method. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
