Intel Mac download

Does anyone know how to download the Intel Mac version of Tribler? When I clickon the Mac download link (which is labelled "PowerPC, Intel") I only get a PowerPC version. How do I get the Universal binary version?

Many thanks, Jolin

    The PowerPC version should also work on Intel, the PowerPC code will get interpreted by the Intel.

      Thanks for the reply. I realise that PowerPC apps can run on Intel, it's just that they are slower and take more memory. Are there any plans for a universal or Intel binary? Or do I have to download the source code and compile myself for an Intel native binary?

      Cheers, Jolin

        We're a little short on staff and hardware at the moment, so not anytime soon. Of course, you can roll you own (and tell us if it's faster ;o). Building on Mac is a bit complicated, however, but see mac/Makefile.

          Though, I think the Tribler website should make it clearer that the build is PowerPC only. No other program is labelled as "PowerPC, Intel" if it's actually a PowerPC build. With all due respect and appreciation for the developers' work, of course.

        Please, if you build one that's working, share with the community ;-) Tribler is certainly a good idea but as is it's definitely a resource hog on MacIntel?. Thanks in advance
