From @unixtippse (Screenshot: http://twitpic.com/7v5nax )

Fritzing 0.6.4 OS X 10.6.8 1.8 GHz Intel Core Duo

The Mac puts a stop-sign on the launch icon and a message that this software is not supported from this Mac system.

Can anyone verify this?

Confirmed by Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Snow_Leopard »Mac computer with an Intel processor (IA-32). "Yonah" processors such as Core Solo and Core Duo can run only 32-bit applications; later x86-64 architecture processors such as Core 2 Duo are also able to run 64-bit applications.«

Will have to do a 32-bit build after all.

Seems they are now all available pre-compiled: http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/12/15/qt-4-8-libraries-released-stand-alone/

That's what I used--notice the release date. the problem with the 32-bit build arises because I installed the latest xCode/iOS which seems to have destroyed the mac sdk for doing 32-bit builds. I will have to figure out how to reinstall those or install an earlier xcode.

It wasn't the latest xcode at fault. I installed an earlier xcode and got the same result. It looks like the Qt libraries were only built for x86_64. So will have to build qt on mac from source. Possibly this will allow us to continue to support ppc.

It took a full day to build qt for cocoa on the mac, but at least according to lipo, we now have a fritzing cocoa universal binary containing ppc7400, i386, and x86_64 architectures. This should work on OSX 10.5 and up.

One could make a second Qt build for carbon, which would mean that we could (probably) still build for OSX 10.4, but lets wait to see how many people still want that OS supported.
