Yes, you can use the -arch argument with gcc or g++, i.e.:
g++ -arch i386 -arch ppc -arch ppc64 ...

Will build for all three architectures.

You'll need to be sure to build on a system with universal libraries so the link phase will succeed. I don't know whether they encompass JNI, but usually you'll want to use the 10.4u.SDK

Our Java app uses a JNI lib for mathematical calculations. We build the JNI with GCC with a makefile.

Since we entering the IntelMac age, we need to target our JNIs to both the i86 and PPC architectures. I am doing it now by building the i86 JNI on an intelMini, and the PPC JNI on my PPC powerbook.

My question is this: can I build for a different architecture than that of the machine doing the compiling? I would like to be able to build both the PPC and i86 libs on whatever machine I have handy. Is there a g++ option to force which architecture is output? I am not very experienced with makefiles.

Here is part of my makefile:

$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
g++ -o $@ -dynamiclib -install_name $(DESTDIR)/$@ $^
strip -x $@

%.o: %.cpp
g++ -c -O2 -o $@ $^ -I /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ Headers
