Universal Binary

by Shayaan Siddiqui · in Torque Game Engine · 02/26/2006 (6:32 am) · 11 replies

Hello

I got Torque finally working on xCode 2.2.1

But now I want to compile as Universal Binary and I can't figure out how to do it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked Apple's developer section on Apple's site?

Building a Universal Binary

Hope this helps as I plan on doing the same.

I have a book for xCode and followed the directions and it says to change the Architecture to "ppc i386" (beforeit says $(NATIVE_ARCH), which means compile it for the same platform you are using)

and I did that It still compiles as PPC.

Anyone?

Modifing the 'architectures' seems to be all that is needed.

developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/art/build_options.jpg
Did you set this: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET_i386 to 10.4.

I dont know why my posts keep reposting.... sorry i think Safari is acting up!

I can't get that screen to load.

It makes me type it in manually

I did a quick test using an empty project and all the interface does is change it to "ppc i386', as you stated above, that was what you had done manually.

Yeah but the problem is Toque only compiles for PPC

I can't make it compile as a UB.

I've changed the SDK to 10.4
architecture to ppc i386 (manually)

cleaned the targets

and no dice.

What did you do (step by step) to mak a universal binary?

Last night, I went ahead and moved my code base over to a dual-core based mac and the road block I reached was missing OpenAL symbols. at which point, I went back to developing on my primary windows system.

What I had to do to reach teh about point was:

Project Info General tab:
change 'Cross-Develop Using Target SDK: Mac OS X 10.4 (Universal)
"/developer/SDKs/MaxOSX10.4u.sdk"

Project Info Build tab:
Change Architectures to 'ppc i386'

Keep in mind that I am building on a dual-core based mac and it might have came with SDKs not available otherwise.

Wow you guys are FAST!

I am having trouble understanding what exactly I am compiling... Is it a game? an editor? a Game Creator?
