[swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries
hi all, it would be great if someone with mac-compilation experience could give me a hand in trying to get the release procedure straight. I'd like to produce universal binaries (ppc/intel) for OSX. i have rather little idea how to approach this. i'm using a friend's OSX server running on PPC, i'm installing the needed libraries in a subdirectory of my home, then linking statically against them. how would i approach building a universal binary at all? obviously, it should be done with gcc and other opensource tools. alternatively, send over an intel powerbook to have me care about it myself ;) -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

So I won't be of any help. alternatively, send over an intel powerbook to have me care about it myself ;) I'll ask Santa Claus also ! --- erixtekila http://blog.v-i-a.net/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

My new employer have blessed me with a new Intel MacBook Pro (dodgy, explosive battery included free of charge) so I can take a look at trying to get an intel build out. Not that I had much luck with a statically-linked PPC build, mind you ;o) I have my head burried in book work this weekend, but it's a public holiday on Monday here in the UK so I should have time to look at it thenprobably. As for how universal binaries are produced I have no idea; it can't possibly be as simple as passing an extra --arch switch to gcc, as suggested by the top few results in google.

Re: [swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries
If I recall correctly, a universal binary isn't actually a single file, it is multiple executable files stored in side of an app bundle under Contents/MacOS/ and then referenced in the Contents/Info.plist. I think the first place to look is at the format of Info.plist for app bundles, that should tell you some info on what meta is needed to consider something a universal binary. Oh, and if that is the case, it would almost be pointless becase an app bundle is specifically for when an application has a gui, which would mean there is no point for swfmill. Hope this helps.

Re: [swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries
Actually it looks like I am wrong, according to this page: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/universal_binary_compiling/chapter_2_section_7.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002217-CH206-240191 you can specify two different arch flags to gcc 4.0 like the following: -arch ppc -arch i386 Sorry if I caused any confusion.

From what I've read you can take the bundle approach if you are dealing with a GUI application and the one file route if you're building a command-line tool. I remember reading that they've fiddled with the ELF headers (or Mach headers, can't remember which) to make this work.
