Right, I just meant that the supported CPU itself is only x86_64. There's still i386 support, not to worry. Just no PowerPC/Rosetta. But if building a binary for a regular program, there is no need for a i386 version unless there are some legacy requirements*... * whether those are Carbon or Win32 or whatever needs 32-bit now. BTW: The context was that fink/dpkg only allow one architecture, so you needed /sw and /sw64 if you want both 32-bit and 64-bit. Just like on Linux, you have lib and lib64 (or lib32 and lib) ? --anders _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
