Re: [Visualpython-users] Fix for Mac

[Mirko B. <mir...@ie...>]

Actually I don't believe this is the case, since when I compiled on 10.6 I
forced 32 bit compilation, and in fact otool tells me that the libs are i386
and not x86_64 binaries, but despite that they were still not working on
10.5. It sounds more likely that the problems were due to the new dyld
features of 10.6, binaries compiled there might be different to support
those feats in some way.

It should in principle be possible to force retrocompatibility using **the
-mmacosx-version-min flag, but I wasn't able to do so (I'm not a big expert
in the Jam build system that boost uses), luckily we had a 10.5 machine in
the lab.
