Question

I have a Mac running Lion and I just downloaded latest version of apache.
I did the usual things:

$./configure --prefix=/Users/daniels/Sandbox
$ make
$ make install

For what architecture is the httpd binary compiled? x86 or x64? Is there a way to find this?

What I am looking for is that I want to make a MAMP-like application and I want to compile Apache, PHP, and MySQL in such way that I can put them in a DMG file and then give it to other people and they can run it.

Answer 1

Check out the file command.

$ file /usr/bin/grep
/usr/bin/grep: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/bin/grep (for architecture x86_64):    Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/grep (for architecture i386):  Mach-O executable i386
