#46378: flex: update to 2.5.39 -----------------------+------------------- Reporter: rurban@… | Owner: mww@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: flex | -----------------------+------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * type: defect => update Comment:
flex is 2 versions behind. we have still 2.5.37. 2.5.39 requires now this automake patch to compile to static libs only.
So our current flex 2.5.37 works fine, but you would like us to update to 2.5.39, which doesn't work unless it's patched. I propose this: report this problem to the developers of flex so that they can fix it in the appropriate way (because I'm not sure I'm qualified to judge whether the fix you have proposed is the correct one). I see [https://sourceforge.net/p/flex/bugs/182/ one report about this] in the flex bug tracker already, but the fix proposed there is different. When the developers release a new version of flex that once again works on OS X, then we will update the port to that version. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46378#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
