[vtkusers] How to build vtk-5.3.x 64-bit for Mac OS X 10.5.5 with Cocoa bindings

[Michael Jackson]

You should be able to change the CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES to  
x86_64;ppc64 if you want a universal binary 64 bit. That _should_ work.

I would set that and then start the build. Stop the build after the  
first few libraries are built and run the "file" command on one of the  
libraries. The output from that command will tell you if it is working  
or not.

If that does NOT work then 2 things:

Submit a bug report and then fall back to setting the CMAKE_C_FLAGS  
and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to use -arch x86_64 and try again.

The first method really should work. I know people use it all the  
time. Take a look at the vtk dashboards for OS X 64 bit. You should be  
able to get the settings from those dashboards.
