Will binaries built in 10.6 still run in 10.5?

[Dominik Reichardt]

Hi,
I do distribute a snapshot for our project. With the help of macports I ironed out the problems in building the snapshot. 
THEN I made three prefixes in /opt for each arch (ppc, 386, x86_64), building all necessary things WITHOUT macports for each arch (autoconf, libtool, sdl, ogg, vorbis, zlib...).
Then I build our project as well for each arch, making necessary changes for the path etc... After it is built I lipo the different arches into one binary and then make the app and dmg file. All this, concerning building our project, is done via a script. If you want I can attach this in a follow up (once our blackout is over). 
This way you avoid problems and you don't need to include xorg stuff for example (which default macports installs of sdl pull in, for example).
