Thanks I will book mark that and check it out on occasion (I have been
there before and got good info) I am still on 10.4 but was planning
on switching that machine to Leopard so your issues will affect me
also probably (I have an Intel Mac though). Sounds like you use the
IDE for editing and version control then use a make file for building.
I could do that also and even kick that off with a script. I guess
this means I attempt to build a cross compiler over Christmas
holidays. Fink is up for Leopard so I might do everything there so
there is less chance of trashing my OS X stuff.
Thanks for the feedback.
