How to build 64-bit binaries?

Description

Can 64-bit MacPort binaries be build by editing /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and changing: universal_archs ppc i386 to: universal_archs x86_64 ? Or how should 64-bit building of binaries be done within MacPorts?

In trunk you can also use +universal to build pure 64-bit binaries. It contains a new setting universal_archs in macports.conf where you can set which archs should be build by using +universal. If you set it to x86_64 (or ppc64) only, you get pure 64-bit binaries. Consider it some kind of hack, and please not that +universal does not work for all ports...

Note that email was written prior to the 1.7.0 release, so it applies to 1.7.0 as well; setting universal_archs and build +universal can get you 64bit binaries, in those cases where a port is known to build universal and work with 64bit in the first place.
