Help Wanted: Testing CamelBones on Intel

I've checked in changes to the CamelBones build scripts that allow it  
to build against the 10.4u SDK and produce a universal binary. But  
the process is complicated - you need to have a universal  
libperl.dylib, for one thing, which for PPC owners like me means  
building one. And, I don't have access to an Intel Mac with which to  
verify that the end result actually works.

Who can help test on Intel? You'll obviously need, at least, an Intel  
Mac. Knowledge of, or willingness to learn about, the ffcall library  
would be *very* helpful.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Beuller?

What about if I built a universal binary for y'all to try? If it  
runs, great, if not... we'll have a problem. Technically, it's no big  
deal; The ffcall library is the most likely point of failure by far,  
and I've got a good idea what kind of adjustments (if any) might be  
needed to get that working properly.

But, I have no Intel Mac with which to make those adjustments myself,  
and doing it via "email remote control" with a blizzard of "okay, try  
this #define", "now try that configure option" emails to another  
developer would be a huge pain in the rear for everyone involved.

Done. As the announcement mentions, the recent release of ShuX, as  
well as the CamelBones framework itself, are built as universal  
binaries. So, of someone with an Intel Mac would download ShuX and  
give it a click, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks!

I feel bad seeing this entire thread Warnocked three times, but I'm
afraid I'm unable to do anything substantive about it - perhaps Intel
Macs are still so rare out there that nobody on this list actually has
one.  Maybe try p5p if you haven't already?

we have one (OK, two).  Where do I get the app?

ShuX is very helpful :)

I figure they *are* pretty rare - $1k for a machine you don't even  
get to keep is setting the barrier pretty darned high. I have heard  
from at least one person privately though, who said he'd give it a  
go. I emailed him about this latest release, but haven't heard the  
results yet.
