#25149: MacPorts could exit with an error message if trying to build 64 bits on a 32 bit only machine -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: scott@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.8.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: universal, 32, 64, universal_archs Port: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by scott@…): I am confused.
and we should do what the user asked us to do
Are you stating that MacPorts should do as the trac ticket poster suggested? If so, which is how I am reading the comment, why was this ticket closed as invalid? I was asked by Ryan to create this ticket, which is why I did so. When I am an end user of MacPorts, and I believe I am just a very small hair above the average "''drive-by download and install MacPorts''" kind of users. The error I was receiving, and what the ending explanation was, was not something I understood right off the bat. And again, I do feel I am marginally more familiar with MacPorts that a new user. I think that bailing out with some kind of explanation would be a "Good Thing". Did I miss out on something here? Thanks everyone. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25149#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
