Re: [swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries

[Steve Webster]

Well, I've got a non statically-linked version of swfmill built for
Intel Mac OS X, but I couldn't get a static version to compile. Had
mucho problems with ld not being able to find symbols like
_CStringToPascalString (I think) but I think that was caused by an
earlier compiler warning that it could not compile statically in the
current configuration (or something to that effect.)

Humph! I'll try and google for the specific error message and see what
that turns up.

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.

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.

Dan

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.

Our designer just had his MBP recalled from the vendor, for a new
motherboard due to unspecified reasons. His battery isn't one of the
affected ones, though.

I tried your new employer's search engine (for once, normally I go
with the market leader because I already know their search operators)
and a link brought me here:


Congrats for the new job!

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.

Sorry, I don't have an intel based osx.
So I won't be of any help.

[swfmill] [help needed] release script for OSX universal binaries

[daniel fischer]

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 ;)
