Older versions of JACK are supported on MacOSX[1]. Unfortunately, ardour requires features only provided in more recent versions.

There is a relatively recent bug report[2] in the JACK Mantis database, "Configure error on powerpc". The report suggests a proposed solution[3] that was already applied to ardour. [2] http://jackit.sourceforge.net/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000026 [3] http://ardour.sourceforge.net/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000102 So, it looks like ardour and JACK are not being used much on PPC yet. There are probably some problems, but they are likely to be solvable with some patience and developer support. And, the developers *are* willing to support PowerPC. -- joq ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
