Is there a way to determine if a port will compile on PowerPC 10.4?
That is, what are system requirements for a particular port?
It's normally up to the portfile author to put something like the following code block in their portfile: {{{ pre-fetch { if {${os.platform} == "darwin" && ${os.major} < 9} { ui_error "${name} is only supported on OS X 10.5 Leopard or later." return -code error "unsupported platform version" } } }}} Although I'd like it if this were handled by base though... Edit: made a new ticket for that idea: #38508
Oh yes! That would be great. Rather than waiting for a compile to finish, I would know right away whether I am using a supported platform. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38506#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
