Thanks for the reply.... at last nights cocoahead meeting in NYC I
asked and found a solution for libpq.a.
1. config and make on a ppc
2. config and make on intel
copy and rename the libpq.a from each system to a common directory
and run 'lipo' on them:
lipo libpqppc.a libpqintel.a -output libpq.a
lipo will create the universal binary
man lipo:
LIPO

LIPO(1)
NAME
lipo - create or operate on universal files
SYNOPSIS
lipo [-info] [-detailed_info] [-arch arch_type
input_file] ... [
input_file] ... [-arch_blank arch_type] [-create] [-thin
arch_type]
[-replace arch_type filename] ... [-remove arch_type] ...
[-extract
arch_type] ... [-extract_family arch_type] ... [-output
output_file]
[-segalign arch_type value] ...
DESCRIPTION
The lipo command creates or operates on ``universal'' (multi-
architec-
ture) files. It only ever produces one output file, and
never alters
the input file. The operations that lipo performs are:
listing the
architecture types in a universal file; creating a single
universal
file from one or more input files; thinning out a single
universal file
to one specified architecture type; and extracting,
replacing, and/or
removing architectures types from the input file to create a
single new
universal output file.

I am trying to create the libpq.a as a universal binary (both ppc

I use the following notes to build libpq and the bin/ tools to ship
with pgAdmin. I know it is possible to build the entire server, as
a Universal binary, but I could never make it work and haven't had
time to spend on it. Comments welcome :-)
======
Building the entire server as a Universal binary doesn't seem to
work at
present, so, we build the backend as an architecture specific build,
then create libpq and the tools as Universal binaries over the top.
# ./configure --with-openssl --prefix=/usr/local/
# make all; make install
# make distclean
# CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch
i386" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -
arch ppc
-arch i386" ./configure --with-openssl --prefix=/usr/local
# make all
Note - this step will fail, but is required to complete the build
of the tools.
# cd src/interface/libpq
# make all; make install
# cd ../../bin
# make all; make install
======
