I tune one string to a reference pitch (or a tuner), and tune the other

I guess that is what most guitarists do.
Therefore gxtuner could be a helpful tool.
gxtuner isn't mean to break physical law.

Thanks for your comment, . . .
but it leads me to the conclusion that you didn't have try gxtuner.
On a guitar with an ordinary nut, the distance between the nut and
the
first fret is in general to big, this situation is better with
guitars
with a zero fret. So if you tune every string (open in EADGBE) with a
tuner on a guitar without a zero fret, then it will be wrong already
on
the first fret, all the notes on that fret will be slightly to sharp
if
the guitar is intonated correctly on the 12th fret. And most of the
other
notes will be out of tune, som to sharp and other to flat. I'm not
aware
of a tuner that takes this under consideration.
