@Fred - PureBasic MacOS Future - PPC or X86 !?

Post by va!n »

hello fred!
hope you are fine and that you sleep some hours/day while coding like a workaholic on PureBasic like the anouncement v4.0 ;)

Afaik, the MacOS version of PureBasic supports only PPC and Apple changed their strategy to move over to x86 architecture, away from PPC/RISC! Will you concentrate the future developing of the MacOS version on PPC only, maybe PPC and x86 or are you planing to move to a x86 only version - in fact of saving some time by using only one CPU architecture!? :wink:

Maybe you can give the comunity some informations and some words on the way... you and your team are doing a very nice job - keep on your work and stay cool! :)

I don't see any problem to supporting both, as the hard work is done and the libs are written in C (which should compile either on x86 or PPC).

Nice! :)
I like logic, hence I dislike humans but love computers.
