[PyKDE] deploying universal binaries

[Adam Tenderholt]

I too want to make univeral binaries, but I had trouble finding the
recent thread about building universal binaries.

My plan is the following. Sip can be made into a univeral binary by
editing the siplib/Makefile and adding -arch i386 -arch ppc to the
CXXFLAGS AND LFLAGS. I also did this to the sipgen/Makefile, but I
suspect it's not really necessary. Next backup the macx-g++ directory
located in the mkspecs directory of your Qt4 installation, and add
-arch i386 -arch ppc to the CFLAGS and LFLAGS of the qmake.conf in the
macx-g++ directory. This should cause the PyQt4 configure script to
generate the Makefiles with the correct flags.

Hope this helps.
