The PPC Mac OSX binaries are on our Source Forge project page (as Alexander have already mentioned in his posting).

The ECLiPSe build uses standard Unix tools, and for a proper build with Intel Macs, you need to define a new ARCH type, say x86_macosx. If you are familiar with these Unix tools (configure, make, etc.), you could try to make the modifications yourself to get ECLiPSe compiled. However, it is easier to just use the PPC Mac rules (ARCH=ppc_macosx) rules. You should set the environment variable ARCH to ppc_macosx, and then do the compilation as described in the INSTALL file. There are still a few small problems with the source when you compile for the Intel Mac OSX this way, and I hope to check in the changes that get around this -- I will let you know when I have checked in the changes.
