For some time now I've been making parallel OS X builds of gretl
for Intel and PPC. The latest efforts are today's snapshots:
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl.dmg (Intel)
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl-ppc.dmg
I've heard from people using gretl on OS X/Intel and I'm able to
test that myself -- so I'm reasonably confident that the Intel
build is worthwhile -- but I haven't heard from anyone on PPC, and
I can't test on that platform myself.
Bottom line is that I have no idea whether the current PPC build
even works, or whether I'm wasting CPU cycles compiling it and
wasting bandwidth uploading it.
So: if anyone on PPC wants current gretl, please let me know,
otherwise I'll probably drop it as of the 1.8.3 release.
