#41275: nsis: build failure under 10.9 ----------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: clemens.lanthaler@… | Owner: landonf@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: nsis | ----------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by landonf@…): Replying to [comment:9 ari@…]:
Is there a reason this patch hasn't been committed after 10 months to macports? I've had to spend 3 hours trolling the internet and coming to all the same conclusions the good people above have already solved.
I didn't apply it because I'm not using NSIS, it didn't come up on my radar, and I couldn't reasonably evaluate the patch's efficacy; the port is marked openmaintainer for those reasons, so I must assume nobody else applied it because they're also not using NSIS. Replying to [comment:10 ari@…]:
For anyone else coming to this ticket after me, the solution is even easier than adding the patch above (which also works for me).
Confirmation that the patch works is helpful.
Just install homebrew and they have a working nsis package with no dramas.
I'm sure nothing frustrating will ever occur when using homebrew, which, like MacPorts, is provided to you at absolutely no cost entirely through the efforts of volunteers. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41275#comment:12> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
