I'm working on a Universal Binary release of aMule-2.2.4! This is the log of my progress.

LAST UPDATE: May, 5th 2009

Last stable build
Yet to be released...

LOG:
GeoIP 1.4.6 has just been released and it add +universal variant.

Code: [Select]

$ sudo port info libgeoip
libgeoip @1.4.6 (devel, net)
Variants:    universalCrypto++ portfile (libcryptopp) has not been updated yet. MacPort still provides Crypto++ 5.5.2 with no universal variant but I'm working on a self-compiled version of Crypto++ 5.6.
MacPorts' crew helped me with libgeoip, now I hope they will release a new librcryptopp too.

[mirko.g]

I installed all portfiles with +universal.
I compiled Crypto++ 5.6 Universal Binary with no errors.
I compiled wxWidgets with --enable-universal_binary.
I configured aMule with:

Code: [Select]

./configure --disable-systray --disable-gtk --enable-embedded_crypto --with-wx-config=../wxMac-2.8.10/wx-config \
--enable-optimize --with-crypto-prefix=/usr/local/cryptopp --with-gdlib-config=/opt/local/bin/gdlib-config  --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local  \
--enable-cas --enable-webserver --enable-amulecmd --enable-amule-gui --enable-wxcas --enable-alc --enable-alcc --enable-amule-daemon \
--enable-geoip --with-geoip-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-geoip-headers=/opt/local/include --enable-geoip-static --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" \
CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk"
I got:

Code: [Select]

I get errors about libcryptopp.a that is not of required architecture.
I didn't expect it would be such a struggle to compile Universal binary... 

Any suggestion?

Try "file /usr/local/lib/libcryptopp.a"
if it's universal binary (ppc/i386) you should see something as:

enterprise:~ sadmin$ file /opt/local/lib/libcryptopp.a
/opt/local/lib/libcryptopp.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/local/lib/libcryptopp.a (for architecture ppc):   current ar archive
/opt/local/lib/libcryptopp.a (for architecture i386):   current ar archive
enterprise:~ sadmin$

I used cryptopp from MacPorts, with these patches.

Thanks for your hints... I tried also with the Crypto++ UG but it seems no one is interested in Mac OS development...

The problem is that cryptopp GNUmakefile set CXXFLAGS to "-DNDEBUG -g -O2" regardless previous value.

Code: [Select]

CXXFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" makedoesn't work...

Code: [Select]

make CXXFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc"or

Code: [Select]

make CXXFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc -DNDEBUG -g -O2"should work.

My GNUmakefile patch changes:

Code: [Select]

CXXFLAGS = -DNDEBUG -g -O2in:

Code: [Select]

CXXFLAGS += -DNDEBUG -g -O2so it appends to CXXFLAGS instead of replace.

If you want Tiger compatibility use -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk or -mmacosx-version-min=10.4.

Code: [Select]

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 CXXFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc -mmacosx-version-min=10.4" make

Great... you definitely rocks!!!

When you build universal binary, remember to test every binaries and library with otool to see if load the correct libraries.
And if you have problem see here.
