Kevin Walzer Apple has announced its transition to the Intel platform in 2006 after more than a decade on PPC. To ease the transition for developers, it is providing support for "universal binaries"--compilation to support both the legacy PPC platform and the new Intel platform. See http://developer.apple.com/transition/index.html for more information.
How are Tcl/Tk developers on the Mac dealing with the transition to Intel?
A few notes:
Others are invited to post their experiences/perspectives/solutions on the Mactel transition.
Kevin Walzer UPDATE (11 January 2006): I've decided to stick with the Tcl/Tk core, which is already "universal" thanks to the hard work of Daniel Steffen, and rely only on pure-Tcl extensions or compiled extensions that Apple ships with its OS (see http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/tiger ) on both PPC and Mactel machines. This means, for the time being, removing Tile and other extensions that don't trivially compile as universal binaries. I'm doing this with both my open-source and commercial/shareware products.
