#49719: VLC @2.1.5_6 (multimedia) fails to build on ppc -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: herminio.hernandezjr@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: powerpc Port: VLC | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by rjvbertin@…): Actually, wireshark uses X11: I'd say there's a better chance to get it to work on ppc than VLC. You could try reporting the wireshark issue in a new ticket, maybe the port's maintainer will be interested to help you figure out what goes wrong. (I say help because chances are slim he or she still has a PPC Mac!) Try to obtain a backtrace showing where the crash occurs, though, and attach it to the ticket. Oh, and you do have XQuartz or X11.app running, or it *is* started at least when you try to start wireshark, right? It'd be a bit overkill to file a ticket only to realise it doesn't crash, but simply exits because there is no X11 server to connect to ;) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49719#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
