Build same RubyCocoa application version for Leopard and Snow Leopard

I have RubyCocoa 0.13.2 based application. It works on 10.5.8 and earlier versions. When i try to run it on 10.6 it crashes on infinite loop. 10.6 has 0.13.2 built in, but it's not same binary as for 10.5. When i tried to build my application's Xcode 3.1.3 project with 0.13.2 framework from 10.6, it gave a link error - malformed object on 0.13.2 framework binary. The application, that is built with Xcode 3.2 doesn't run on leopard, in spite that i built only 32 Arch. configuration. My question is whether there is a way to build a version, that will run on both platforms?

Thanks,

Nava

EDIT: I feel pretty exhausted trying to solve it and the best thing would be to just rewrite everything in Cocoa, at least you can debug it in a human way. But i don't have a permission for this luxury :)

Thank you @Alex for politically correct editing :)) – Nava Carmon
You should try fixing the infinite loop on 10.6 instead of trying to get a binary library to work on a different OS version (mind all those changes from 10.5 to 10.6 - especially that it's now pure 64bit). – Koraktor
I fixed the infinite loop on 10.6 and it's working now. The problem is that the version that is working on 10.6 doesn't work on 10.5+ and vise versa. That's what I'm asking here, how do i make SAME version for Leopard & Snow Leopard, since they are using the same RubyCocoa version... – Nava Carmon

I got a notification from RubyCocoa source forge team on a RubyCocoa version 1.0.1 which is supposed to work for Leopard & Snow Leopard. Will give it a chance, especially it has a fix for a ver. 1.0.0 crash on Snow Leopard

SOLVED! First of all there is a new RubyCocoa version (rev. 2277, based on 1.0.0, soon the release), that solved SL crash and works for both Leopard & Snow Leopard.

I built a RubyCocoa version for i386 & ppc architectures. In the project I set 32bit-universal. Base SDK = 10.5, Deployment target = 10.5, Compiler = GCC 4.0.

Now I have one version, that I can build on Leopard & Snow Leopard and it works on both platforms (it doesn't say, that it there are no crashes, but this is for another question)

You should probably have the following build settings :-

  • Architectures = 32/64-bit Universal
  • Base SDK = Mac OS X 10.6
  • Deployment Target = Mac OS X 10.5

If this doesn't work on 10.5, try changing

  • Base SDK = Mac OS X 10.5

I don't think the version of GCC should matter unless you can't build successfully.
