Building wxWidgets 2.9 Universal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To check if your tools and libraries are installed check with file for architectures.

user@macosx$ file /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib 

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture ppc7400):	Mach-O dynamically linked shared library stub ppc
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture ppc64)Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library stub ppc64
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture i386):Mach-O dynamically linked shared library stub i386
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library stub x86_64

You need the architectures what you are compiling for !

31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
If you have problems that the 64bits library is not build you should add in
the configure file:

At time of writing (2009-01-16) this is on line 18381
       changing this: OSX_UNIV_OPTS="-arch ppc -arch i386"
           into this: OSX_UNIV_OPTS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64"

Building a universal monolib wxWidgets 2.9 with the following parameters:
./configure --enable-unicode=yes --enable-shared=no --enable-monolithic --with-opengl \
40
  --enable-universal_binary --enable-aui --enable-debug --with-osx_cocoa \
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103
  --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ --prefix=/opt/wxwidgets-svn

If you dont need the debugging symbols then you can remove the --enable-debug parameter.

Compiling and installing:
make
sudo make install


Building KiCad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Extract the sources or get them from subversion.

user@mac-osx$ cmake .

Regarding Kicad the only things i've changed are the Variables
in the generated CMakeCache.txt

It depends on which CMake version you use:

//Flags used by the compiler during all build types.
//This fixes also BOOST macro errors
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-D__ASSERTMACROS__

//Build architectures for OSX 
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ -mmacosx-version-min=10.5

//The product will be built against the headers and libraries located
// inside the indicated SDK.
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT:PATH=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

//Minimum OS X version to target for deployment (at runtime); newer
// APIs weak linked. Set to empty string for default value.
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET:STRING=10.5

Or:

CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURE = x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ -mmacosx-version-min=10.5
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT = /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS = -D__ASSERTMACROS__


Then we invoke make:
user@mac-osx$ make

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS = -D__ASSERTMACROS__ fixes this :-)

Installing rosetta and xcode with all architectures fixes this "problem"


ld: warning: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks//QuickTime.framework/QuickTime, missing required architecture x86_64 in file

You get this error because the QuickTime 10.6 framework is not build with 64bit support. This not a real issue for KiCad because we don't use it anyway.
