I'm building at home on a Tiger (10.4.6) G4 system, and we've got some G5s at work running other versions.
Incidentally, I wish our lab had some Intel Macs so I could offer to patch the packaging scripts for universal binary, but I might be able to find one if I look around.
David, we very definitely need someone to investigate producing a Universal Binary for version 0.44; I cannot see my way to doing anything about it.
There is a request in the tracker for Universal binaries, please add a comment if you have time. I marked it very low priority since despite being something we'd all like in theory, it is highly dependant on the availability of hardware and developers and we'd be very lucky for it to happen at all.
What would building the Universal binary entail? Would the machine be needed just for the build, or would it be needed for extended testing?
I have several friends with x86 Macs. If I didn't need to have their computers for very long, I may be able to get my hands on one. I doubt they'd be willing to live without their loved ones for more than a week.
Would I just need to follow the same instructions as on this page? http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX I've never packaged before, though I'm familiar with fink on PPC (my wife has a Mac).
I guess what I'm saying is that I can probably get access to the hardware if someone is willing to do a bit of hand-holding.
Thanks,
