64 bit support is the same for both Intel and PPC. 64 bit support is the same from 10.4.0 to 10.4.9. 64 bit support is the same wether you are 'building on' or 'building for'. On 10.4.x (on either PPC or Intel) you _can_ create 64 bit executables. But they can _only_ link against System.framework and Accelerate.framework. A 64 bit executable cannot link against Carbon.framework, because Carbon.framework is only 32 bit. So, freetype can be built as 64 bit if ftmac.c is excluded. ftmac.c cannot be built as 64 bit because it uses Carbon.framework. On 10.5 this restriction is gone, but other changes will be needed for 10.5, so I don't think we should worry yet. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
