OK - I assume we need to try the 10.4u-SDK to build on SL and see how that goes, too... > Old "PPC" binaries no longer run under snow leopard > --------------------------------------------------- > I get an error running binaries I'd built long ago > that are PPC only (ie. *not* a universal binaries): > > To open <YourOldPPCApp>, you need to install Rosetta. > Would you like to install it now? OK - I had heard this, although I was told that Rosetta wasn't even on the DVD, the pop-up actually fetches it from the interwebs if you say yes. This might just have been with the seeds though, so YMMV. > Don't use Rez on Snow Leopard > ----------------------------- > > For the same reason as above (Rosetta not installed by default), > /usr/bin/Rez fails with the error: > > You need the Rosetta software to run Rez.

However, the Finder, and even cp, ls, etc., have all been enhanced to cope with this, and cp doesn't drop the rez fork anymore on copies either... But yeah, I think we probably got to stop Rezzing our apps on SL, then... This is OK for fltk-1.3 I think, since it has been adjusted to make a bundle.app, but I guess fltk-1.1 and fltk-2 are broken then.
