ImageSnap @0.2.5 PowerPC not supported

[jsalort (Julien Salort)]

ImageSnap fails to build on PowerPC. The error log says:

Is it possible to add ppc in the compatible architectures ?

Difficult for me to test; my PowerPC machines don't have video cameras.

Either the developer had a good reason for specifying that the only supported archs are i386 x86_64, or this is specified inadvertently, perhaps because it was in a template that the developer based his project on. You could "sudo port clean ImageSnap" and "sudo port extract ImageSnap" and then edit ImageSnap.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (within the directory identified by the command "port work ImageSnap") to remove the VALID_ARCHS lines (and let the default—all architectures are valid—take effect), and "sudo port install ImageSnap" and see if it builds and works. Please let me know either way.

It seems to work indeed with the solution that you propose. Thank you
