Comment (by benoit.rivet@…):
I’ve been able to build libffi successfully on a G3 Mac after downloading
libffi-3.2.1.tar.gz, modifying line 34 in src/powerpc/darwin.S and line 37
in src/powerpc/darwin_closure.S from
{{{
#define machine_choice MODE_CHOICE(ppc7400,ppc64)
}}}
to :
{{{
#define machine_choice MODE_CHOICE(ppc,ppc64)
}}}
Of course, this may break libffi on G4 Mac (where ppc7400 or ppc7450 may
be expected). However, since I wanted to build on a G3 Mac, I did not
bother to check what happens on G4 Mac with that change. After that,
./configure, make then make install installed libffi.6.dylib and
libffi.dylib in /usr/local/lib and
{{{
lipo -info /usr/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib
}}}
gives :
{{{
Non fat file: /usr/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib is architecture: ppc750
}}}
I was then able to install the gobject-introspection port through macports
via :
{{{
sudo port install gobject-introspection
}}}
which failed previously due to libffi with the message :
{{{
Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib: incompatible cpu-subtype
}}}
PS: I reported [https://sourceware.org/ml/libffi-
discuss/2015/msg00085.html this success] to the libffi-discuss mailing
list.
