Am trying to build libsdl to be a universal binary. I run:
sh build-scripts/fatbuild.sh

....as suggested, and configure starts going through its paces. It
doesn't complete though - says:
checking for gcc-4.0 -arch ppc option to accept ISO C89... unsupported

I then wrote the time-honoured hello_world.c and compiled it using
'gcc-4.0 -arch ppc *.c'. It compiled, produced the ppc output which
then ran fine under Rosetta.

Any ideas why configure might be getting itself tied in a knot?


Cheers,
Ian

Thats odd. When I last did it (which was a while back when I was looking
at persuading people to port their games to the mac) it built ok as a
univeral. It was openAL that I had the most hassle with.

Becasue someone took out (or added in) something in the autoconf script.
Can't you just hack that around?

Will have a look - can probably be overcome. I was trying to get the
PS2 emulator going, pcsx2:
<http://pcsx2-mac.quant0r.com/>

Have now got it running fine, but alas I think this 2.4Ghz MBP is too
wimpy. I wanted to play Rez, but it's crawling. Specs talk about
needing 3.2Ghz+, so looks like I'm out of luck.

Rez HD on the Xbox360 rocks my socks. And was the reason I bought the
Xbox in the first place, in fact!

Is there a Dreamcast emulator + Rez that you could try instead?

There is and I downloaded it, but I must confess I haven't the slighted
idea what to do with it. The files aren't as simple as 'point at this
iso here' and never having owned a Dreamcast it's using terms i'm
unfamiliar with. Maybe I can did a walkthriugh or similar.
