I think having a Universal Binary, or at least an Mactel version of 0.44 is *really* important. ..
I have access to an Intel Mac running Tiger and have managed to get working packages of Inkscape SVN checkouts. If you'd like these, just drop me a line.
My interpretation of the Universal Binary tutorial at developer.apple.com (http://developer.apple.com/opensource/buildingopensourceuniversal.html) tells me that one can generate Universal Binaries with access to only one architecture provided that one also has appropriate Universal versions of all involved shared libraries. Am I reading this right?
Yes you are; probably since version 2 of XCode. I would recommend using the latest stable XCode, currently 2.3.
I am not absolutely sure what is the best way to go about this, but if you have working binaries you might want to have aaron - one of the release wardens - give you the power to upload files; this would enable other people to test them. If you are not ready for this, you will want to wait for a response from mjwybrow .
It should be straightforward, and of course many thanks for stepping up and doing this. Did you make any patches to the source tree?
