update] the code for compatibility with libpng14 if possible, otherwise
create a libpng12 port if it's really impossible. Also, you should not
choose whether to build 64-bit based solely on the OS version. Look at
$build_arch.
I would prefer to stick with my current approach, choosing 64-bit vs
32-bit based on the OS version. The build_arch variable appears to be
overly conservative. On both of my machines running OS 10.6 (Intel Xeon
CPU X5482 @ 3.20GHz and Intel Core2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz) build_arch
is set to i386 in the macports.conf file. 64-bit ARB runs just fine on
both of them.
Truth be told, the only useful version of ARB is 64-bit because modern DNA
sequences databases are so large.
Users would be better served if ARB would not install if a combination of
hardware and OS was detected that absolutely cannot run 64-bit. Any
insight on accomplishing that?
