[flac-dev] Compiling flac for OSX 10.4

[Brian Willoughby]

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for your efforts to support 10.4

I still run 10.4 on a G5.  I believe that it can sometimes be more  
difficult to compile for 10.4 from newer systems, whereas building  
for 10.4 on 10.4 is a cinch.

Note that the Xcode project may be broken.  I don't think that anyone  
ever really used it.  I recall trying, and it was too broken, so I  
gave up.  What I always do with FLAC is build from the command line  
just like with any other flavor of Unix.

Did you try building FLAC from the command line using the normal Unix  
instructions?

When you build under Xcode, did you build the Release version instead  
of the Debug version?  Sometimes it necessary to make a Deployment  
version or use something equivalent to make install.

Finally, did you try the flac 1.2.1 installer disk image that I  
compiled?  Look on flac.sourceforge.net for flac-1.2.1.dmg - it  
should have everything you need.  If there are any problems with this  
build (and nobody has complained to me since 2009), then please let  
me know so I can make corrections and update the installer.
