I have a need to build a OS X universal binary of an OCaml program. I found out how to do it (apologies if this is already posted, but I couldn't find a solution in the archives). 1. Install the PowerPC version of OCaml. Squirrel away /usr/local/bin/ ocamlopt and /usr/local/lib/ocaml (I just added ppc to their names). 2. Install the Intel version of OCaml. 3. To make a ppc version of the program, compile with /usr/local/bin/ ocamloptppc (no need to add any extra arguments), and link with /usr/ local/bin/ocamloptppc -ccopt "-arch ppc" -nostdlib -I /usr/local/lib/ ocamlppc. That's it. When you've made both versions, merge them with lipo. ppc compilation and loading is a bit slow, but that's the only drawback I've found. Sorry again if this is a bit obvious ...
