Re: [Chicken-users] Problem OS X Snow Leopard installation/Compilation

[Jim Ursetto]

Hi Francis,
The readme instructions you refer to are only to be used for *universal* 
builds, which are not possible on snow leopard.  Nor are they really desirable 
even on tiger or leopard unless you absolutely must support PPC and Intel in 
the same install.

Simply build normally without specifying universal arch or gcc-4.0:
  make PLATFORM=macosx

It may be necessary to add ARCH=x86-64 to this line, only if you are using a 
32-bit kernel and 64-bit userspace -- such as may occur with earlier Intel 
Macs. On fully 32 or 64 bit machines, that is not necessary.

Hope this helps,
Jim
