How to recompile your screensaver to be Snow Leopard© compatible

I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard©, and my YClock screensaver didn’t work on it. After searching on google, the problem seems to be just a recompilation away. Unfortunately, even recompiling it in 64 bit it didn’t work either. After a bit more research (thanks to ElectricSheep ).

I discovered the good parameters for compilation.

For now I didn’t compiled it to work also on Tiger and Leopard. I don’t know XCode enought to know how to make the Garbage collector to be disabled on 32 bits version and enabled on 64 bits version.

It was a bit difficult to discover these informations. Hope this post helped someone.
