Mac OS X 10.4 FAT build from CVS

SDL Development
1

A few of the utilities are missing that the build-script
’fatbuild.sh’ relies on.
So I dragged them over from 1.2.9.

But then I got this running ‘configure’:

checking how to run the C preprocessor… /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor “/lib/cpp” fails sanity check
See `config.log’ for more details.

For what it is worth, I cannot build SDL 1.2.9 on OS X 10.4 i386 either.

You need the following items:
Xcode 2.2 (including gcc 3.3 and 4.0, and the 10.2 and 10.4 SDKs)
Then run autogen.sh followed by build-scripts/fatbuild.sh

If you still have problems, let me know what you had to copy over
from SDL 1.2.9, and attach config.log

Just using the regular (./configure | make | sudo make install) from
the top directory made the static libs (.a) FAT but not the shared
libs (dylib).
I see what I can do to add dylibs. So this complex fat_build script
is not necessary if one just wants static FAT libs.

Okay, we got all the kinks worked out.
fatbuild.sh builds Universal binaries using the configure method,
building on Mac OS X 10.4, targeting 10.2 Power PC and 10.4 Intel.

Thanks!
