[Help-gsl] Building a universal binary of gsl

[Brian]

I am looking for the most straightforward way to build a universal binary of
gsl on OSX. Simply passing CFLAGS/LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc" doesn't
work due to incompatible flags in config.h, as far as I can tell. I was able
to make it work using this method:

tar -xzf gsl-1.9.tar.gz && mv gsl-1.9 gsl-1.9_intel && cp -r
gsl-1.9_intel gsl-1.9_ppc
cd gsl-1.9_intel && ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking
--disable-shared --enable-static
cd .. && cd gsl-1.9_ppc
env CFLAGS="-arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc" ./configure
--disable-dependency-tracking --enable-shared --disable-static
--build=powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.0
cd .. && cd gsl-1.9_intel
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-shared --disable-static
lipo -create .libs/libgsl.0.10.0.dylib
../gsl-1.9_ppc/.libs/libgsl.0.10.0.dylib -output
.libs/libgsl.0.10.0.dylib
lipo -create cblas/.libs/libgslcblas.0.0.0.dylib
../gsl-1.9_ppc/cblas/.libs/libgslcblas.0.0.0.dylib -output
cblas/.libs/libgslcblas.0.0.0.dylib
sudo make install-strip


I would be interested in a more straightforward method of creating a
universal binary out of the same configuration..

Cheers,
Brian
