I have searched the forums and it may be my choice of search terms, but I didn't find anything helpful with my issue.
I need some pointers, tips whatever - even if it's "you're SOL, buddy".
I've successfully compiled from source, the latest version of Q, but only as an Intel build.
The source is here.
I'd like to compile a UB, but am running in to a problem that I can't seem to resolve.
Namely, the PPC binary won't compile.
I'm working on a MB with Tiger and the latest version of X Code (2.4.1).
When I attempt run the PPC build script with gcc 4.0, I get the following output:

ERROR: "gcc-3.3" either does not exist or does not work
Makefile:3: config-host.mak: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `config-host.mak'. Stop.
Makefile:1: ../../tmp/qemu/config-host.mak: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `../../tmp/qemu/config-host.mak'. Stop.
Makefile:1: ../../tmp/qemu/config-host.mak: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `../../tmp/qemu/config-host.mak'. Stop.

I switch to gcc 3.3 using the command sudo gcc_select 3.3 and get this:

Could not find a working compiler
make: `libtransmission.a' is up to date.

patching file pc.c

Do I need a different gcc (say from fink or darwin/mac ports)?
While I'm very comfortable with a CLI and compiling from source (can you say "slackware or gentoo linux"?), editing config files, etc. my actual coding skills are zilch to "hello world".

Am I stuck with an Intel only build, or do any code monsters have any suggestions?

I don't know if this will help you or not...but,

It's my understanding that Apple has only shipped cross compilation support with GCC4. GCC3.3 (as shipped from Apple) is not able to compile for both PPC & Intel.

So, to compile your project as a universal binary, you'll probably have to edit one of the makefiles to use GCC 4.0. (There is a good chance you'll run into other issues compiling when you do that, though)

Granted, this is from a guy still on a 3.5 year old Powerbook G4...you YMMV!
