wine users - Sep 2009 - Making builds on OSX 10.6, not working on 10.5

if anyone else is out there trying this...

If i build Wine on Mac OS X 10.5, I can get that build to run fine on both 10.5
and 10.6 ....

If i build Wine on 10.6, then it runs fine on 10.6 but crashes on 10.5 when I
try to use it with only this listed "dyld: unknown required load command
0x8000002" then Wine crashes....

I build Wine on OSX pretty much exactly following the steps on the wiki

Anyone have any ideas to try?  I'd really like my Wine builds to be usable
on both 10.5 and 10.6 without having to have a 10.5 machine set up to build
Wine.

Amazing, the same thing happened between Panther and Tiger, and Tiger and
Leopard.  You CANNOT build back version dynamic libararies and expect them to
work.  Not without a lot of tweaking.

Yes, build on Leopard and run on Snow Leopard and Leopard.  That is the only way
it is going to work.  I would like to know if Tiger builds work on Snow Leopard,
but I don't have an Intel system with Tiger installed.

nice to know, thanks...  I kind of follow what that means, I think... don't
really need your sarcasm acting like everyone should know everything
automatically about everything though.

I'm not trying to be sarcasitic towards you and don't take it that way. 
Apple has stated that you can 'just build' for a lower version of MacOSX
and we have found that you have to literally jump through hoops to get this to
work.  All you should have to do is specify the MacOSX version in the XCode
window and away you go.  But this does NOT work for large projects like Wine. 
There was a lengthy discussion on how to build for MacOSX 10.4 on the
OpenOffice.org project Mac OSX Porting mailing list and the results were mixed
at best.  I suggest you go through the archives and see what happened.  I
stopped using Panther a long time ago.  However, the lessons they learned should
transfer to building for Snow Leopard builds for Leopard.

As a reminder, Apple should be able to provide assistance with this as well.

I'm too much of just a hobbyist doing stuff for fun to jump through that
many hoops.. I have an older Macbook Pro that i am downgrading back to 10.5 to
use it to build Wine... its just a media machine and my TV/DVR so its no biggie
if its back to running 10.5 ... so thats a lot easier for me for now.


thanks for your help though!
