#18675: ncursesw 5.7 hangs on distroot for arch ppc64 -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: anthony.c.smith@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: ncursesw -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Changes (by mcalhoun@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => mcalhoun@… Comment: Replying to [ticket:18675 anthony.c.smith@…]:
Bug report #18187 claims to fix this issue in r47312 but I am continuing to have the problem.
It turns out the claim was a little premature. The problem was that in the destroot phase, a script looks for the program tic.[[BR]] When not cross-compiling, it finds the version that was just build.[[BR]] When cross-compiling, the script is smart enough not to try and instead finds /usr/bin/tic, which hangs. #18187 claimed to fix the problem because, on the test machine, there was a previously installed ${prefix}/bin/tic which got the job done. r47439 is an attempt to fix the problem.[[BR]] Please let me know if it works. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18675#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
