libmysqlclient for Mac-intel?

[Gary Ashford]

Hi all.

Referring to the source distribution of MySQL 5.0.15 using Mac OS X 10.4.3

I have been bashing my head on the desk trying to get the embedded MySQL client library to compile using Xcode version 2.1 as opposed to the automatically "configure"d gcc makefiles.
The reason for wanting to do this is to enable us to produce a "universal binary" version of the client library- (the same as you might get using the "-arch ppc -arch i386" gcc command line options).

(Universal binaries are a clever combination of both ppc and intel architectures which allow the same library to be used with ppc mach-o executables as well as Mac-intel executables- the new Mac platform which is going to be released this year.)

So far I have been unable to get Xcode to build anything viable. I have also been unable to get the configure script to set up the Makefiles for universal binaries.

If there's anyone out there that knows where i'm coming from with this, I would be very grateful for any help they can offer.

Thanks in advance
Gary
