In case anyone's interested, here are the command line arguments I used to configure the LAME 3.98.3 source and compile a super-fat Universal binary version of it. I'd not have been able to figure that out nearly as quickly without finding that post. I'd like to make a quick shout out to Gee over at his blog, and thank him for the excellent post he made explaining how to use the Mac OSX command line to cross compile for other processor architectures. One can learn how to use the command line version of the "lame" program by simply dragging it's icon to an open Terminal window and typing "-help" at the end of that line and hitting return.Users of other applications that require the dylib will be able to take advantage of this new version of LAME by copying the file to "/usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.dylib" and chmodding it to 755.

Users of Audacity can use "libmp3lame.dylib" to enable Audacity to export MP3s by going to their Preferences, going to the "Libraries" tab and using the "locate" button to select this version of the file.

Users of iTunes-LAME can right click on that program and show it's package contents, navigate to the "Resources" folder and replace the "lame" executable in there with the one that I've compiled.

How does one make use of either one these files? Who can use this? Any Mac user running OSX 10.5 or greater who wants the latest version of the "lame" command line program, or the dynamically linked shared library "libmp3lame.dylib" based on the LAME 3.98.3 source, released on. I also happened to need a PPC version of it for my aging 12 inch G4 laptop, and I didn't really see any easier way of getting that. This time though, it has been about a month since the release and I haven't been able to find one online yet, so I decided I'd bake one myself.

Now, typically, someone else out there is kind enough to compile a Universal binary of both the command line executable and the dynamic library for each version that comes out. Why did I bother compiling and posting this? Because about a month ago when the LAME project released the latest version of their encoder, it only came out as source. For those not familiar with the LAME MP3 encoder, you can get a pretty good idea of what it is over at Wikipedia.
