#22557: MacPorts base should verify build_arch has a sensible value -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- build_arch is meant to contain a single architecture value only. If the user sets build_arch to a nonsense value like "i386 x86_64" or "green", ports quite understandably fail to compile. (See #22534 for an example.) MacPorts base should prevent user confusion by verifying that build_arch contains a valid value. Attempting to cross-compile using build_arch is probably also a bad idea, so the valid values should probably be "i386" or "x86_64" on Intel Macs and "ppc" or "ppc64" on PowerPC Macs. We could consider allowing "ppc" on Intel Macs as well due to Rosetta. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22557> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
