Re: Linking universal binary framework with UNIX library

Would it be possible to compile libjpeg.a on an Intel computer (Developer Transition Kit or Linux PC?) and then incorporate both a PowerPC and an Intel version of the library into the project for the framework? Perhaps I could build with two targets and then join them on the command line?

You can do either one, except for the Linux thing. I would compile them both at the same time. In the Makefile, find the compiler flags (usually the CFLAGS variable), and add "-arch ppc -arch i386". If you want to compile them individually and assemble them, you would run the make twice, using each of the -arch flags for each pass, then use "lipo" on the command line to glue them together (man lipo for details). There's no advantage to this (that I know of).

You can also do this from a PowerPC machine as well, no Intel box needed.
