I have a MacBook Intel Core Duo with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and a 2GHz processor which, according to the minimum spec, should run.

However the Ripple executable is compiled for x86_64 only,

$ file Ripple.app/Contents/MacOS/Ripple 
  Ripple.app/Contents/MacOS/Ripple: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Can the Ripple application be compiled with 32bit support as well?

ericpearson commented 12 years ago

Ah, yeah. Currently it is compiled for a 64-bit CPU. In future builds I will change it to create a universal binary.

@pagey Did this get resolved?

ericpearson commented 12 years ago

I don't think so, we didn't change any of the build scripts.

This was included in the scope for this release as it was in the milestone. What is the risk/impact of making the change?
