#51527: GNUMail-Aqua @1.2.0pre3: Jam is deprecated and has been removed ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: tfhavel@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: GNUMail-Aqua | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by tfhavel@…): Updating the port to that version would be greatly appreciated (hopefully by a lot of people besides me)! I'll give it a try myself if you tell me how one goes about importing a tarball into the macports directory hierarchy, but I note that the README file in the tarball says GNUMail depends on Pantomime which can be downloaded from the same defunct site that used to host GNUMail. So I wonder if the current version of Pantomime in marports won't have the same problem? The same goes for all of GNUstep, actually! Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
Log says:
{{{ Jam is deprecated and has been removed; targets that use Jam must be upgraded to native targets. For more information on doing this, consult the Xcode documentation. }}}
This software is from 2007. The project's homepage no longer exists. It's not surprising it fails to compile on current systems.
Looks like someone else has at least done some bug fixes and released a new version here:

We could try updating the port to that version.
