I have so far had two issues, one that should definitely be addressed by the package maintainers and one that . One was that this line in Mac/Makefile.in,
$(CC) $(subst -arch i386,,$(subst -arch ppc,,$(LDFLAGS))) -o $@ @UNIVERSAL_ARCH64_FLAGS@ $(srcdir)/Tools/pythonw.c was causing the '-arch ppc' that forms a prefix of '-arch ppc64' to be removed, leaving only a "64" when using --universal-archs=all. I worked around this by adding a space before the two commas. The second was that the PythonDocumentation target doesn't seem to build, due to some Sphinx error that I haven't hunted down yet. Here's the traceback: ... ... A tools/pygments/filter.py Checked out revision 80558. Exception occurred: File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/encodings/utf_8_sig.py", line 19, in decode if input.startswith(codecs.BOM_UTF8): AttributeError: 'buffer' object has no attribute 'startswith' The full traceback has been saved in /var/folders/lf/lfVpd1o4GcqQEL0xQ150lU+++TU/-Tmp-/sphinx-err-6FaAYF.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers. Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time. Either send bugs to the mailing list at <http://groups.google.com/group/sphinx-dev/>, or report them in the tracker at <http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issues/>.
