[Pythonmac-SIG] Anyone tried to build python or extensions with XCode 4.0?

[Jeff Senn]

First, you should become aware of this:

http://www.macstories.net/news/developers-xcode-4-will-drop-support-for-10-5-sdk/

In particular the difficult part (i.e. beyond just finding (restoring?) the right library
and header files for the SDKs) is that the toolset in XCode 4 has the PPC support
removed from it.  So... although you can probably without *too* much trouble, build 10.5 intel only
(and possibly 10.4 intel only), if you need to support PPC then you'd better keep a copy of 
XCode 3 around...

Note: installing the latest XCode 4 actually *silently* deletes the /Developer/SDKs for 10.4 and 10.5.
<sarcasm> Nice! </sarcasm>
