Re: [ft] how to build freetype on Mac OSX for SDK10.4 + ppc + i386

Hi,

Sorry for lack of documentation about universal binary building
in FreeType2, it's my task.

Please try

env CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" \
    LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc" \
        ./configure --prefix=xxx

I recommend you to use freetype-2.3.7 (latest official release) 
or CVS HEAD revision, because 2.3.6 and older have insufficient
support for Mac OS X universal binary development. To use older
release, you should include "-isysroot ..." option to LDFLAGS too.

If you want to use legacy TrueType fonts (like suitcase font
and .dfont) and don't mind to include Carbon framework dependency,
please add "--with-old-mac-fonts" option to configure, aslike

env CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" \
    LDFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" \
        ./configure --prefix=xxx --with-old-mac-fonts
