Re: Fink on BS with M1 cpu

I think that is the Apple recommended way of building fat binaries for the MI/Intel architectures.  I found a page on developing for the M1.  They show compile twice and then use lipo to combine them into a single multi-architecture file.

I am sort of neutral on the idea of fat files.  They have always seemed to work for me even during the PPC/Intel transition. I was hoping it was a way to boot strap into a pure architecture with an intermediate step but it is starting to look like that is more work.

That fact, along with the fact that fat builds seemed to be not sufficiently reliable at that time, led us not to do universal builds in our packages.   IIRC our old (even then) dpkg didn’t do multi architecture packages, but dpkg1.16+ can.
