#14102: fontconfig build fails if "head" is missing or unusable --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@macports.org | Owner: ryandesign@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@macports.org): I [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14304 filed a bug] with the developers of fontconfig. Maybe they'll change fontconfig to emit a better error message, or to avoid the problem altogether. In the process of researching that bug, I found out how I could probably make a one-line change to fontconfig to work around the problem (change "`head -1`" to "`sed -n 1p`" in `src/makealias`). I'm now torn as to whether I should do this, since doing so would mean the user would continue to have a broken `head` program on their system which could just cause problems for them further down the road. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14102#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
