mac intel?

[John Russell <jb...@onlywebdata.com>]

Has a Mac intel build of xalan-C been attempted?
Thanks,
John Russell.

I'm willing to attempt to maintain a universal binary (multiple  
architecture) mac port should I prove sufficiently capable.

It would be a big help if someone could read a page of the Mac  
documentation and
let me know whether it is likely that the additional flags to compile  
for multiple
architectures using the ./configure script is likely to work.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/ 
PortingUnix/compiling/chapter_4_section_3.html

Complete information is available at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/ 
PortingUnix/PortingUnix.pdf

An extract from the "Compiling for Multiple Architectures" page says:

"In many cases, binaries containing object code for more than one  
architecture can be generated simply by running the normal  
configuration script, then overriding the architecture flags at  
compile time. For example, you might run ./configure followed by  
CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch  
i386" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch  
ppc -arch i386" make to generate a universal binary (for Intel-based  
and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers). To generate a 3-way universal  
binary that includes a 64-bit PowerPC version, you would add -arch  
ppc64 to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS."

If no one responded to your post on the list, I think you can assume the 
person who was maintaining the Mac port is no longer doing it.

On the other hand, keeping the port going for OS X should be trivial, 
since we already support GCC on a bunch of other platforms.  I imagine 
there's not much to do, s0 you might want to attempt it yourself.  You 
might even find that the generic "linux" platform target in runConfigure 
works.

If you have any questions on how to proceed, feel free to post them.

Is there a contact I can attempt to reach re Mac port?

Not that I know of.  I'm also not sure the Mac port is even being 
maintained right now.
