iPhone SDK works on PowerPC Macs, sort of

Another way to do this that seems to work a bit better is this: - touch /tmp/insttmp_37253734 /tmp/insttmp_37253735
- sudo chmod a-w /tmp
- Start the installer. After it starts and you see the "Welcome to the XCode Tools Installer" screen, you need to run "sudo chmod a+w /tmp" so it doesn't fail when it tries to create stuff in /tmp.

After doing this, I built the MoveMe example for the simulator and ran it. It's a bit choppy (expected considering I have an 867Mhz G4), but it's usable

Just a quick clarification, it's not an error message, it's a build warning..... the build still goes off without a hitch and can be run and tested in the iPhone emulator environment. It's important to note the difference because one means apps don't build and the other means they do :)

Seems to me most serious developers would have transitioned to Intel Macs over two years after the first ones came on the market. In order to move forward you've got to be working on the newest, and best platform.

Presumably it would be possible to use x-grid to an Intel based Mac and build project this way.
