[Qgis-developer] Building universal binary on Leopard for Tiger

[William Kyngesburye]

I've found that the -mmacosx-version-min can miss in configuration (at  
least in libtool-based configures), so I always set  
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to make sure.

How did you specify the SDK option?

Big warning when compiling Qgis *for* Tiger *on* Leopard - you need to  
install the python.org Python framework and compile SIP and PyQt  
against that.  But installing Python on Leopard will mess up your PATH  
for using Leopard's Python when you need it.  Make usre to do a custom  
install and uncheck the "UNIX CLI tools" and "Shell profile updater"  
packages.  And double-check your .bash_profile after to make sure it  
didn't add itself to the PATH.  Then you temporarily add the framework  
to your PATH when needed for SIP, PyQt and Qgis (see below).  Disable  
the Python framework when done (create a /Library/Frameworks  
(disabled) folder and move it there).

Here is my configuration I use on Leopard to make my Tiger build  
(adjust lib deps for your system) -

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin: 
$PATH"
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Applications -D  
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="ppc;i386" -D  
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT="/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" -D  
SQLITE3_INCLUDE_DIR=/Library/Frameworks/SQLite3.framework/Headers -D  
SQLITE3_LIBRARY=/Library/Frameworks/SQLite3.framework/unix/lib/ 
libsqlite3.dylib -D EXPAT_INCLUDE_DIR=/Users/Shared/unix/expat-tig/ 
include -D EXPAT_LIBRARY=/Users/Shared/unix/expat-tig/lib/libexpat.a - 
D GSL_CONFIG=/Users/Shared/unix/gsl-tig/bin/gsl-config -D  
GEOS_INCLUDE_DIR=/Library/Frameworks/geos.framework/unix/include -D  
GEOS_LIBRARY=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/unix/lib/libgeos.dylib  
-D PROJ_INCLUDE_DIR=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Headers -D  
PROJ_LIBRARY=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib/libproj.dylib  
-D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
include -D GRASS_PREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS ..
