2010-11-05 Thread Ryan Schmidt
The cairo port in MacPorts already does build for each architecture separately and then glue them together using lipo. In MacPorts this feature is called the muniversal portgroup. Based on what I've seen, cairo just does not appear to like building for x86_64 on Leopard. (I don't have an Intel L

Hi Ryan, The problem is that the Tex-Live is a static system as such. The binaries do seem to change for year to year. At least as far as I have noticed. But, many of the Tex…-packages are updated regulary. Such as polyglossia for example. There are no por
