Build on Darwin: Building Universal Binaries: $ ./configure --target-universal or $ set TARGET_ARCH="-arch i386 -arch ppc -arch x86_64" $ ./configure Then build with GNU- or BSD-Make. Notes for Mac OS X 10.4/Darwin 8: The applications in the test directory might fail with "XXX.dylib does not contain an architecture that matches the specified ..." Here is a workaround: Explicitly set TARGET_ARCH to "" (empty string) or the desired architecture (e.g. "-arch ppc") before building the applications. This prevents building universal binary executables, but the static libraries are still built.
