#44384: libpaper fails to build on OS X Tiger --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: djlambe11@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: tiger Port: libpaper | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by djlambe11@…): Sorry, that was me missing the shift key. It was {{{-compatibility_version}}} (noting the underscore this time). I'm uploading my main.log now. Notes, which led me to my original conclusion: From {{{man ld}}} on Tiger: {{{ -dylib_compatibility_version number ... the library is used. This option is used as the libtool(1) -compatibility_version number option when its -dynamic option is set. }}} From the man page found on the hard drive of my (broken) Mavericks machine: {{{ -compatibility_version number ... is used. This option is also called -dylib_compatibil- ity_version for compatibility. }}} with irrelevant parts shrouded behind ellipses. If you would like the full versions, I can attach them as well. It should be noted that these are taken directly from my xterm window, and the awkward hyphenation is a by-product of {{{man}}}. The 10.4 version does not have the {{{-compatibility_version}}} flag, nor the {{{-current_version}}} one. However, since my two data points are so far separated, I have no clear line to draw as to which release removed the {{{dylib_}}}. Being that the older option is still accepted should allow the patch to proceed without issue, but it would probably be better to use a conditional to only use the {{{dylib_}}} when it is strictly necessary. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44384#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
