[XeTeX] building XeTeX fails

[Jonathan Kew]

Hi Mojca,

I'm afraid I don't know anything about this; I believe Thanh has been building (from the microtype branch in the xetex repository) on Linux, but I haven't tried this myself yet.

I did, however, just succeed in building that branch on a Mac running Snow Leopard, which I remember you've asked about before. Here's what I did: Create a shell script "build-osx.sh" containing the lines

    export SDK_ROOT=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/
    export CC="gcc-4.0"
    export CXX="g++-4.0"
    sh build-xetex.sh

Running this in Terminal seemed to work and resulted in a xetex binary. :)

This creates an Intel binary on my Intel-based machine; presumably it would create a PPC binary on a PPC machine. I didn't yet succeed in cross-compiling to create a PPC or Universal binary on the Intel Mac as host.
