The vast majority of Mac users would not even consider compiling a program. A compiler comes with the OS disk, but it is not installed by default. Require compilation to use a program, and it just won't get used much, except by a very small number of programmers. Even those would probably rather have a binary properly packaged. > Will we have to worry about universal binaries when we build on the > command line? Probably, but I'm guessing the default setting is probably to build a universal binary. That is just a guess. I actually have a MacBook, but have yet to actually compile anything on it except in the Ubuntu Linux running in a virtual machine on it. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
