Taken from the page on BerliOS with mac binaries (http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5358):
Mac OS X 10.4 binaries (Universal)
CB_20060914_rev2976_macx86.zip
ArcH :i386
.zip
Is it universal or not? (to non-mac users: universal = both PPC and x86 arch compatible) I think this should be clarified because now it says yes and no at the same time.
I 'd say "trust what the package says". Maybe berlios doesn't have a "universal" arch to select when releasing a file (I haven't noticed). But if afb released a file which contains the word "universal" in its name, I 'd say trust afb :).

It's not really any confusion. Originally we had a PowerPC version called "macppc" for Mac OS X 10.3 that worked on Intel too (using Rosetta). Now we have a Universal version called "macx86" for Mac OS X 10.4 that works on Intel but also works on PowerPC (since it has binaries for both architectures). So all the binaries released are Universal, and they should work on PPC - except for the bugs of course ;-)
BTW: The last release said "mac264" (for wx 2.6.4) and "mac284" (for wx 2.8.4) instead...

Exactly, BerliOS doesn't have a universal arch to choose from but still demands that you choose one...
SourceForge has added one, but BerliOS haven't caught up yet.
Ok thanks
I kinda figured out there was no universal architecture, but then I thought you'd put 'universal' in the file name and not 'x86' ;) well the new names (mac284) are good so no problem
QuoteI 'd say "trust what the package says".
Well exactly they had 'x86' in the name despite being universal so that's a bit misleading :)
