Remember that the SDK should be set to the NEWEST version of Mac OS X that you want to run on and the DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to the oldest. For example, for PowerPC Leopard, Intel Snow Leopard and deploy to Tiger:


SDKROOT = macosx10.6
SDKROOT[arch=ppc] = macosx10.5
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.4

You should probably be at least testing with an x86_64 architecture. I usually use:

ARCHS = $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) x86_64

Note that this is the same for both debug and release configurations. If you only want to build the native architecture when debugging use this:

ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH = YES

Note: the above build setting will cut-n-paste into your project or target build settings (if the appropriate table view has focus).
