#42492: macports doesn't work with gnutar ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: xeron.oskom@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.99 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by xeron.oskom@…): Replying to [comment:2 cal@…]:
Mavericks doesn't come with gnutar, so where does the gnutar apparently referenced in `$portutil::autoconf::tar_path` come from? What does `variable tar_path` contain in `/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/macports_autoconf.tcl`?
I've installed gnutar from macports and temporary replaced OSX's bsdtar with gnutar to play with some software which requires it. After that I just forgot to return an original one. I understand such configuration is not supported, but fix should be simple since gnutar works as well as bsdtar, just prints some warnings. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42492#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
