[gtk-osx-users] Building on PPC fails

[Steffen Gutmann <muibase yahoo com>]

Hi,

I am not sure if someone recently tried building gtkosx on a PPC machine?  I run into the following problem on a PPC MacMini with OSX Leopard:

sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh: succeeds
jhbuild build python: succeeds

jhbuild bootstrap: succeeds

jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap: fails when configuring intltool.  Here is the trace:


*** Configuring intltool *** [8/15]

I looked into the ./configure script and ran the following line manually:

perl -e "require XML::Parser"


which outputs:

Can't load '/Users/steffen/gtk/inst/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle' for module XML::Parser::Expat: dlopen(/Users/steffen/gtk/inst/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:

The problem is the file 
/Users/steffen/gtk/inst/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle

which originates from 

/Users/steffen/gtk/source/XML-Parser-2.41/blib/arch/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle

It does not contain any PPC code:

cd /Users/steffen/gtk/source/XML-Parser-2.41/blib/arch/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/

file Expat.bundle 
Expat.bundle: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
Expat.bundle (for architecture i386):Mach-O bundle i386
Expat.bundle (for architecture x86_64):Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

In contrast, XML-Parser-2.40 has these architectures:
cd /Users/steffen/gtk-old-but-good/source/XML-Parser-2.40/blib/arch/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/

file Expat.bundle 
Expat.bundle: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
Expat.bundle (for architecture ppc):Mach-O bundle ppc
Expat.bundle (for architecture i386):Mach-O bundle i386

Would it be okay to go back to XML-Parser-2.40?

Regards,

Steffen
