- I asked the port media mailing list, and figured out a few things*. - it compiles with home brew (on lion+snow). - I tried to get a VM working on virtualbox... but that didn't work. Apparently it used to work with OSX server, but OSX server doesn't exist any more; So virtualbox doesn't seem to support it now.
- You can extract architectures, and join them together with `lipo`. So, if I grab an old binary I might be able to extract the ppc stuff. - people suggest getting an old mac to support old mac platforms.
So...
*basically, I need to get an old mac.
Supporting old platforms on Lion seems too hard; unless you are a level 52 wizard, and have some of Steve Jobses toe nail clippings to do the incantations.
