Universal Binaries

I really don't know enough about this to even compose an intelligent question so I'll just ask a few dumb questions.

What does PureBasic use when it compiles fpr OSX? XCode allows creating universal binaries but I don't know whether XCode is used in the PB compile process.Could this perhaps solve the problems PB compiled apps have on PPC?

Hello dhouston,

to compile universal binaries you need both compiler, the Intel one AND the PPC one.
There is an workaround in forum

Use this tool >PBUniversalCompile<, it will work.

Not so, according to the link I referenced. You cam make them solely from Intel and, I assume, from one copy of the source.
