AFAIK 10.5 was the last macos version that ran on PowerPC, so "≥10.6" already implies that macos-on-PowerPC is not supported. Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Officially, yes, but some people apparently manage to run 10.6 on powerPC. I don't know if we really need to specify that, though, given that it's almost certainly a tiny subset of a tiny subset of people running macOS, and they can't reasonably be expecting official support for their project. -- Alan Third ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Interesting. Makes me wonder, tho: why would Emacs not work on such a system? I understand that with the old unexec there was a good chance that it wouldn't work without explicit work on our part, but the "p" of "pdump" should avoid those problems ;-) Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work with the exception of some NS specific image format code (PBM or something?) where I think we recently switched from big-endian to little-endian. But given it took us years to notice that was broken, I can't see it causing any problems. :) -- Alan Third ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
