Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] OSX 32-bit build on 10.5.x (Leopard) no longer supported?

[David Ameiss <netshark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would have no problem with not supporting 10.5. For me, the 10.5 
machine's only purpose is to build 32-bit plugins. If I can do that on 
10.6, I'm cool with that.

(And if you rebuilt all the Wireshark support libraries on 10.5, those will have to be built in that fashion as well.  I don't remember whether I've worked on that or not; it's harder, as we don't control the configure scripts, Makefiles, etc., but by setting CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the environment, we might be able to make that work.)
