This doesn't make sense to me. If the user is running 10.5 Leopard
on a machine that doesn't have a 64-bit CPU, what do you intend to
happen? As stated, such a user would be unable to run your app. Is
that what you want?
If you want users who run 10.5 and also have a 64-bit CPU to run the
64-bit code, then you still need 32-bit code that runs on all arch's
and on 10.4 or 10.5.
As to preferring 64-bit over 32-bit on 64-bit-capable arch's, there's
an Info.plist key for that: LSArchitecturePriority.
I think you're simply approaching this wrong.
The default SDK for all builds and arch's should be 10.4. This will
cover all arch's for which no arch-specific setting is defined. It
will be 32-bit in all cases.
The base SDK for 64-bit arch's should be 10.5.
If you approach it this way, then how to setup the per-arch settings
should be clearer.
SDKROOT = MacOSX10.4u.sdk
SDKROOT_ppc64 = MacOSX10.5.sdk
SDKROOT_x86_64 = MacOSX10.5.sdk 5
Given the above, when it builds for ppc or i386, it will build for
10.4, because that's the default base SDK, and the target arch
doesn't match any arch-specific setting.
However, if I similarly set conditional build settings for "Base
SDK" and "MacOSX Deployment Target" so that PowerPC 64-bit and
Intel 64-bit are built against 10.5 SDK and deploy on 10.5 or
later, then I lose 10.4 support for PowerPC 64-bit and Intel 64-bit
architectures.
That's nonsensical. There is no "10.4 support for PowerPC 64-bit and
Intel 64-bit" to be lost, because no such thing exists. Unless
you're referring only to the 64-bit System framework.
