Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on getting Terminator compiled on Lion/XCode
4.2.

Unfortunately, it won't work out of the box.

First of all, salma-hayek expects gcc-4.0.1, which isn't available on
my system. I fixed this by removing hardcoded "-V4.0.1" in the
Makefile. Another issue is, that XCode 4 doesn't support Universal
Binaries anymore. I removed these switches from lib/build/
universal.make.

After making these changes, I was able to build a working terminator
app. I haven't tried to package it or build it on another system.

The Patch can be found at http://s01.de/~tox/salma-hayek.diff

It's not generic, as it removes the Universal-Binary feature and may
has unknown effects to other MacOS Systems than this box. But this may
a good starting point for a real fix.

regards

Gottox

PS: This would be a possible fix, too If one doesn't want to drop
universal support:

I haven't tried it yet.

(my assumption is that the owner of our Mac OS build machine hasn't
upgraded his OS. i don't know if that means he can't upgrade his
XCode?)
