19 Building on @value{OS.osx} is well supported. It is the reference platform for @value{HB.name}. The following are the recommended specifications for this platform; but is not necessarily the only configuration that is possible:
22 @item Mac Intel hardware
23 @item @value{OS.osx} 10.5.6
25 @item gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)
26 @item yasm 0.7.2.2153 (for i386 and x86_64 architectures)

38 The two general methods to build on @value{OS.osx} are building from @b{terminal} or @b{Xcode}. The preferred method for automated and repeatable builds is to use the terminal. Otherwise the choice is generally up to the individual. In essence, the terminal actually invokes @command{xcodebuild} to build the very same targets contained in the Xcode project.

45 @section Universal Binaries
46 This section outlines convenience procedures for creating Universal Binaries for all the architectures.
49 The dummy (container) build configuration uses @command{--disable-xcode}; but the nested architecture builds will all make full use of Xcode.
52 Create a dummy (container) build configuration and use it to launch a nested-build for each architecture @i{serially}; optionally you may substitute @command{make ub.build.serial} for @command{make ub.build.parallel} if your machine has the horsepower:
55 ./configure --disable-xcode
61 To specify a subset of architectures to be built first create/edit @file{_SRC_/custom.defs} with the following override to build UB for @samp{i386} and @samp{x86_64} before invoking @command{make}:
64 ## prefer i386 (order is important)
65 UB.archs = i386 x86_64
