Hey Tom, Shane,
actually, PHP w/out the PG stuff builds just fine with x86_64 and i386
specified at the same time. I didn't bother with the PPC
architectures, since I don't have a Leopard capable PPC box any more.
My old PowerBook G3/500 point blank refuses to run anything higher
than 10.4.11 :).
When I tried the build, including the PG libs for both architectures,
I got error messages for missing symbols only for the i386
architecture (since I only built the PG libs for 64-bit). Everything
else seemed to be present.
I'm good to run with the x86_64 only binary since my Apache is built
using that architecture. I'm also not to worried about any bugs in the
64-bit OS X code, this is for development only, no live data, ever. If
it crashes or mangles up my data, so be it, backups must be good for
something, right? Would have been nice though, to go and give the
completely built libphp5.so module to somebody and say 'here, run it'
regardless of what his hardware architecture supports.
best regards,
chris
