anybody working on the JOGL JNI lib for OSX/x86?
There could be 3 builds for OSX: PowerPC, x86, and/or Universal binary.
Since WebStart can distinguish processor architecture it might make sense to make separate PowerPC and Intel builds to save some bytes in the download vs. a universal binary.
the support for jogl universal binaries is already in the build, so you can build it yourself (provided you have an i386 based Mac). alternatively, you can grab the universal jogl lib from my home page http://www.gerardziemski.com/projects
cheers
Do you really need a i386 based Mac to build a universal binary?? I was under the impression that the intel cross-compiler was included with the latest XCode 2.2. Am I mistaken?
In general you can build a universal app if you have “MacOSX10.4u.sdk” on either Intel or PPC Mac, however, because of a bug in our (Apple’s) JAWT lib, a universal Java library that uses JAWT (such as jogl) will fail to build at link time. We fixed the JAWT library in “J2SE 5.0 Release 4 Developer Preview 4”, but the one that is in “MacOSX10.4u.sdk” has not been updated. The workaround for now then is to build jogl on a machine that has a universal Mac OS X, and for the time being that is only the new Intel based Macs.
