[PD] Building externals on OSX

[Miller Puckette]

THat agrees with my experience.... I compile Pd vanlla on a 32-bit
machine running 10.4 (I believe) and it's perfectly happy to grind out
3-architecture binary externs.  (If you look in 32-bit Pd vanilla you'll
see that sigmund~, etc, are OK fro PPC, i386, or whatever-you-call-it 64
bit intel.

(Only gotcha is taht I can't compile teh 64 bit app that way - I have to
squat on a newer machine for that, so teh exxterns included with 64 bit
Pd vanilla are lacking PPC support.

I don't know of any way to compile PPC apps anymore.  I would be happy to
put out a PPC version of Pd if I could.

cheers

It's possible to put older SDK's themselves into the "right place" but, for something as old as the 10.5 SDK, it may not even work anymore. The only reliabel way to use an old machine with 10.5 or 10.6 and an old version of Xcode, probably Xcode 3.something.
