Hi all,
only now did I have time to test out the latest releases.
I only use SDL 1.2x, SDL_net and SDL_ttf for building OS X snapshots for Exult, Pentagram and Dosbox.
Exult only uses SDL and is fine.

Dosbox uses SDL_net and fails with claiming the compiled static lib is the wrong architecture, but it's not.
Code:
ld: warning: in /opt/exult.i386/lib/libSDL_net.a, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)

This used to work with previous releases. Have there been obvious changes that prevent linking to the static libs now?

Interestingly when I compile for PPC the error isn't happening and all links fine.

now I'm a bit closer to the mystery:

seems the static libs I built are not really static for some reason.

otool -L ./.libs/libsdl_ttf.a
Archive : ./.libs/libsdl_ttf.a
./.libs/libsdl_ttf.a(libSDLmain.a): is not an object file
./.libs/libsdl_ttf.a(libSDL.a): is not an object file
./.libs/libsdl_ttf.a(SDL_ttf.o):

I have no idea why this happens as I somehow managed to make the correct static builds before.

Since I'm talking to myself... Smile
Solved it... I needed to point pkg_config at nothing (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=) somehow pkgconfig screwed everything up. Now I need to rebuild all my libs... Smile

that prevent linking to the static libs now?

My casual glance at the error message makes me think you don't have
the architecture you need in your libraries. (e.g. You need i386, but
you only have ppc.) You can run lipo -info on the library to see what
architectures are inside.

This used to work with previous releases. Have there been obvious changes
that prevent linking to the static libs now?

My casual glance at the error message makes me think you don't have
the architecture you need in your libraries. (e.g. You need i386, but
you only have ppc.) You can run lipo -info on the library to see what
architectures are inside.

Thanks but that wasn't it.
The problem was that I had "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=pathtomyarchspecificprefix"" This caused the makefiles to contain
Code:
SDL_CONFIG = pkg-config sdl
SDL_LIBS = -Wl,-framework,Cocoa /opt/arch.x86_64/lib/libSDLmain.a /opt/arch.x86_64/lib/libSDL.a -Wl,-framework,OpenGL -Wl,-framework,ApplicationServices -Wl,-framework,Carbon -Wl,-framework,AudioToolbox -Wl,-framework,AudioUnit -Wl,-framework,IOKit -L/opt/arch.x86_64/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL


instead of the correct:
Code:
SDL_CONFIG = /opt/arch.x86_64/bin//sdl-config
SDL_LIBS = -L/opt/arch.x86_64/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -Wl,-framework,Cocoa


So that is obviously doing bad stuff and for some reason building with the static SDL libs into the SDL_ttf libs as well as linking dynamicly to it. This confuses the linker when you link the static SDL_ttf libs to an app. I checked all it's linking and everything had the correct arch but all the double/tripple linking confuses the linker...
