Need 32-bit version for Mac

[Richard Gaskin]

Recipe:
1. Download the DMG on any non-64-bit Mac
2. Open it and try to run the Ubuntu One app
RESULT: OS Error dialog:
"You can't open the application Ubuntu One.app because it is not supported on this type of Mac."

Expected result: Since the Ubuntu One client for OS X is said to run on all systems from 10.6.8 and later, I had hoped it would have been compiled for 32-bit compatibility. My Mac has a Core Duo processor, which is 32-bit (as opposed to the Core2 Duo which is 64-bit), and if we had a compile for 32-bit Macs I'd finally be able to switch from DropBox.

I would much rather use Ubuntu One over DropBox, but until there's a compile for 32-bit Macs I can't switch. Thanks for considering this.

Hi, this is currently a low priority, although it's not a lot of work if someone wants to help. (I'm more than happy to be a guide)

For reference, the major piece that currently requires 64-bit is the fsevents daemon, which uses features of the 'new' (64 only) ObjC runtime. Changing it to work with 32 is not a major design change but does touch a lot of that code.

The Qt we build with is also currently just 64 bit, even though brew claims it configured with --universal, so there's something we'll have to look at also, if we decide to tackle this.
