It would be nice if the port compiled without problems, even on an ancient system like this. :) Suggested fix of Makefile, lines 67 and following, else ifneq: {{{ ifneq ($(filter $(UNAME_S),OpenBSD),) OS_LIBS = else ifneq ($(filter $(UNAME_S),FreeBSD),) OS_CFLAGS = -pthread OS_LIBS = -lpthread else OS_LIBS = -lpthread -ldl endif endif }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44712> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
