#20760: MacPorts-1.8.0: build from tar ball fails to install on Tiger if default source is a local directory maintained with svn ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: devans@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.1 Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: svn | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by devans@…): After time to think about this some more, the problem is that the svn binary being installed by a previous version of MacPorts, is not in the installer's restricted path. Configure allows the path to svn to be specified using the environment variable SVN but doesn't check to see if it exists. I suggest that configure be modified to do such a check (perhaps including the target install prefix) to see if svn exists and error out if it does not with a message about using SVN to set where it might be even though it is not always necessary. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20760#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
