Yes I actually mean updating from 2.7 to 2.7 from svn. I am running this install ./configure --with-universal-archs=64-bit --enable-universalsdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk --enable-framework Are there other options I should consider? What I mean by that, are there options you like or recommend. There is a lot I don't know about ./configure and the options. It's not that I plan to do this often, but I want a shell script that installs everything I want. I figure I need to right it down somewhere it might has well be in a script. I plan to host this on github to share with others.
