[Bf-committers] OS X update to XCode 4 breaks compiling

[Damien Plisson]

Hi Ton,

It seems we'll need to move to XCode 4, but XCode 3.x is still available. (I even use an external HS to boot on 10.5 to build libs, with XCode 3.0).
I'll soon get XCode 4, but I'm never in a rush to get a x.0 release, I always prefer to wait for the x.1 with its bug fixes...

But I do have currently an issue with 10.4 libs, namely Python 3.2. Python needs to be compiled on the target platform (cross compiling, even when succeeding to get a build, gives errors in the python modules at runtime).
So to be able to make the next release with 10.4 builds, we need to get builders who still have 10.4.
Unfortunately my contacts who made the Python 3.1 10.4 builds have upgraded to 10.5...
