#38954: port vim-app fails --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: pengyu.ut@… | Owner: raimue@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: vim-app | --------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => raimue@… Comment: The log doesn't show any build failure, only an archive fetch failure. Perhaps you have MacPorts configured to use archives only? If so that's not surprising. If you allow MacPorts to try to build it, you should see something like: {{{ $ sudo port install vim-app ---> Computing dependencies for vim-app ---> Fetching distfiles for vim-app [snip] ---> Attempting to fetch 7.3.760 from http://distfiles.macports.org/vim/7.3_2 ---> Attempting to fetch 7.3.761 from http://distfiles.macports.org/vim/7.3_2 ---> Attempting to fetch 7.3.762 from http://distfiles.macports.org/vim/7.3_2 ---> Attempting to fetch app-bm.tar.gz from http://distfiles.macports.org/vim/7.3_2 ---> Attempting to fetch doc.tar.gz from http://distfiles.macports.org/vim/7.3_2 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for vim-app ---> Extracting vim-app ---> Applying patches to vim-app ---> Configuring vim-app Error: vim-app does not run on Mac OS X 10.6 or greater.
