    1212Building applications for Macintosh OS X is complicated by the fact that Mac OS X is actually 3 different platforms:
    13  * powerpc-apple-darwin: PowerPC processors running OS 10.3.0 and above
    14  * i686-apple-darwin 32-bit intel processors running OS 10.4.0 and above
    15  * x86_64-apple-darwin: 64-bit intel processors running OS 10.5.0 and above
     13 * '''powerpc-apple-darwin''': PowerPC processors running OS 10.3.0 and above
     14 * '''i686-apple-darwin''': 32-bit intel processors running OS 10.4.0 and above
     15 * '''x86_64-apple-darwin''': 64-bit intel processors running OS 10.5.0 and above
    1616BOINC does not support 64-bit PowerPC applications for the Mac.

    2020Although BOINC version 6.1.0 supports only Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later, earlier versions supported all versions back to OS 10.3.0.  The GCC compiler version 4.0 was introduced in OS 10.3.9.  OS 10.3.0 through 10.3.8 can't run applications built with GCC 4.0, so you have 2 choices if you want to support PowerPC (G3, G4 and G5) processors:
    21  * Build  your PowerPC application with GCC 4.0 and only distribute your application to Macs running 10.3.9 or later.
     21 * Build  your PowerPC application with GCC 4.0 and distribute it only to Macs running 10.3.9 or later.
    2222 * Build your PowerPC application with GCC 3.3.
