Re: IOUSBUserClient versioning across PPC / Intel

Hi Steve,

I have no difficulty building the universal binary; in my case the ppc
version is built against 10.2.8 and the intel against 10.4u. The problem is
that the ppc and intel dependencies are different, but they share a single
info.plist file. Is there a such a thing as a "fat" plist? Am I missing
something obvious?

No, you're missing something not-so-obvious. :-) But it's a very good question. A full explanation would require a blow-by-blow account of how the KEXT loader works.

Just use your 10.2.8 dependencies in your plist and everything should be fine.

In the rare case where one truly does need a separate set of dependencies for each architecture, one would have to build two KEXTs. There isn't a "universal plist" with per-architecture properties. The two KEXTs would have to have different CFBundleIdentifiers, and one KEXT could be included in the Plugins directory of the main KEXT. But again the need to do this should be quite rare.

Regards,
