#16514: Minicom: bad path for lock file -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: julien-mac@touche.fr.st | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Minicom create a lock file when it is launched to prevent another instance to be called. For now, Portfile set this to ${prefix}/var which is 755 by default on leopard, so by default only root can call minicom. It would be better if --enable-lock-dir was set up on ${prefix}/lock which could be set 1777. Else if we accept path outside of prefix, we can use /var/tmp (or /tmp to be more portable) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16514> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
