SDL3.4 and Intel-Mac (import xcframework)

I have installed the SDL3-Framework from the original-git-hub:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/relea ... ease-3.4.2
and with Windows/Linux everything works, but on a Intel it will crash (unexpected debugger termination).
Simple example-code
Code: Select all
importc "/Library/Frameworks/SDL3.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/SDL3.framework/SDL3"
endimport
debug "test"

Looks like you're importing an Arm library on an Intel system... what do you expect should happen? (Serious question. Not sarcastic. I'm no expert on these libraries and also I use Mac less than Linux/Windows.)

As far as I understand it is a combined lib for ARM64, X86 and X64. A "universal binary".
But I think that this could be the main problem, that Purebasic can't handle universal binary libs...

We use the standard linker, so it should handle it

Sounds good, sorry for doubting you. I am using SDL3 successfully on Linux and Windows but via the OpenLibrary() method, not ImportC method.
