None of them work. This is because both the verteksi oxt and my own are 32-bit only, and thus can’t work:

$ file ../../Library/Application\ Support/LibreOffice/4/user/extensions/tmp/extensions/luy8mlnd.tmp_/voikko.oxt/voikko.dylib 
../../Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/4/user/extensions/tmp/extensions/luy8mlnd.tmp_/voikko.oxt/voikko.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

(my own oxt)

$ file ../../Library/Application\ Support/LibreOffice/4/user/extensions/tmp/extensions/luy8mlnm.tmp_/libreoffice-voikko_2013-12-07_a2.oxt/voikko.dylib 
../../Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/4/user/extensions/tmp/extensions/luy8mlnm.tmp_/libreoffice-voikko_2013-12-07_a2.oxt/voikko.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

(the verteksi oxt)

I also installed the corresponding LibreOffice 4.2 SDK, and tried to compile a new 64 bit oxt, but it failed because of architecture-related linking issues:

ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/smo036//macosx/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.dylib, file was built for x86_64 which is not the architecture being linked (i386): /Users/smo036//macosx/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.dylib

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:

All my own libraries are universal binaries (both 32 and 64 bit, Intel), but the 4.2 app and SDK seems to be 64-bit only. I would have expected it to be a universal binary as well, and that the oxt build would produce a universal binary oxt. But it seems not.

It looks like this is necessary right now, but it should be possible to build 64-bit versions as well as universal version.
