libvorbis

[cotharyus]

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is it compiles, links, and runs on my Macbook now. The method used to make this magic happen is, apparently, not considered safe, however if it was altogether right out, the option to screw with the linker wouldn't exist, so I'm doing it anyway. I'm going to need to post this so other people with Intel based Macs can try it and see if it works for them. Did you catch that? That was the bad news.

As of libvorbisfile, it looks like PPC is dead unless someone with OSX on a PPC can make a build, because when I try to link against the vorbis libs on a PPC build, I get errors that it's only i386 compatible. There may be something I can do (trash the libs and rebuild them differently?) to make it work propperly for a PPC build, but lets take one step at a time here.

BTW, that linker magic is as follows:
edit xcode project info
Under other linker flags add:
-weak_library /usr/local/lib/libvorbisfile -weak_library /usr/local/lib/libvorbis.0 -weak_library /usr/local/lib/libogg.0.dylib

you also need to add /usr/local/lib/** to your header search path, and if you're doing this on an intel mac, turn off the PPC architecture build. If anyone wants to try this on a PPC mac and manages to get a good build, or if someone gets a universal build, I'd like to know how.
