#29412: gettext 0.18.1.1 - conftest crash ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: tael67@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: tiger | Port: gettext ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): This particular crash is in realpath. Within the gettext source there is the file canonicalize.m4 which is built into the configure script which tests for the capabilities of the realpath function; it seems to be this test which is crashing and thus showing a crash reporter dialog box. Perhaps the other ports you've seen to display a crash reporter dialog box are using the same canonicalize.m4 test. Or perhaps they are unrelated crashes. In this case anyway, I've reported the problem to the developers of gettext: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33273 . For other ports, you should report the problems directly to the developers; there's likely nothing MacPorts-specific about the problem, and MacPorts will get the fix as the upstream developers release new versions. Be aware that support for Tiger, both in MacPorts and in the developer community, is waning as fewer people have access to Tiger machines anymore. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29412#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
