[Wrf-users] RIP4 with intel-based Mac.

[Wang, Yi]

Hi Mei:

Thanks for the input. However, I wonder if intel-based Mac (Mac Pro, Macbook
Pro) was available two years ago.

The whole issue is the big-endian and small-endian problem.

I wonder if you know this issue. Otherwise, I can adapt your scripts and
compile RIP4 without any pain.

Even with Rosetta, intel-Mac can only support a few power PC applications.

I am not quite sure if IBM XLF compiler has released a version that can
support intel-based Mac. Their XLF support for powerPC Mac has been
discontinued.

Thanks for your input, anyhow,

Yi
