Hi, One of the mailing list subscribers sent me a message with proper ./configure parameters for cross-compiling for PowerPC Macs being on Intel Mac: ./configure --host=powerpc-apple-darwin9 --build=powerpc By I still have to manually modify rules.mak (in the quote) when I switch the build system back and forth. Can you suggest something to automate this? Of course I could just apply patches in some script, but is there a right way by adding some .mak file or something else just for cross-compilation for ppc?
