[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: swt on Mac/Intel

[Daniel Pasco <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"With the announcement of the transition to Intel and Xcode 2.1 it's 
now possible to build a universal
version of the SWT, Eclipse launcher and support library that will run 
on either PPC or Intel-based
Macintoshes.

To do this, '-arch i386 -arch ppc' must be added to the makefiles that 
build the Carbon portions of SWT, the launcher, and a core native 
library."

Cool.  It would be nice if this information was available at a higher 
degree of visibility.

I agree that there the changes aren't difficult, but diving through the 
codebase and build system to figure this out took quite a bit of my 
time.

because swt for mac is developped on carbon and since apple decided to 
migrate to Intel processors, i am wondering if swt will be recompiled 
for Intel processors or ported to cocoa framework?
