    21 Building applications for Macintosh OS X is complicated by the fact that Mac OS X is actually 3 different platforms:
     21Building BOINC for Macintosh OS X is complicated by the fact that Mac OS X is actually 3 different platforms:
    2222 * '''powerpc-apple-darwin''': PowerPC processors running OS 10.3.0 and above
    2323 * '''i686-apple-darwin''': 32-bit intel processors running OS 10.4.0 and above
    … …  
    2727You need to take certain steps to ensure that you use only APIs that are available in all the OS versions BOINC supports for each architecture.  There are two basic ways to accomplish this:
    2828 * Build each platform on a system running the oldest OS you need to support, then combine them into a Universal Binary using the lipo command-line utility:
    29     * A PowerPC development system running OS 10.3.0 through 10.3.8 (or 10.3.9 if you won't support the older systems)
     29    * A PowerPC development system running OS 10.3.9
    3030    * An Intel development system running OS 10.4.x
    31     * A 64-bit development Intel system running OS 10.5.x (The original Intel Macs used an Intel Core Duo processor which was 32-bit only.  You must have an Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor to run 64-bit applications.)  However, at the time this is written, the BOINC Makefiles do not directly build 64-bit binaries
     31    * A 64-bit development Intel system running OS 10.5.x.  However, at the time this is written, the BOINC Makefiles do not directly build 64-bit binaries; you will have to modify the Makefile slightly to specify the x86_64 architecture by adding the compiler and linker flag `-arch x86_64`.
    3232 * Use a single development system running OS 10.5.x and cross-compile for the various platforms.  The remainder of this document describes that process.

    3636Be sure to follow the directions in this document to ensure that these requirements are met.

    38 BOINC version 6.1.0 supports only Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later; support for OS 10.3.0 through 10.3.8 has been discontinued.  This allows us to build the BOINC Client and Manager using only GCC 4.0, which offers a number of advantages.
    39 
    40 The BOINC Client includes support for the x86_64 (64-bit Intel) architecture beginning with version 6.1.0.
     38Starting with version 6.1.0, the BOINC Client supports only Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later; support for OS 10.3.0 through 10.3.8 has been discontinued.  This allows us to build the BOINC Client and Manager using only GCC 4.0, which offers a number of advantages.
