#21877: bash-completion needs gnu readlink, not bsd ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: andrew@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: coreutils readlink | Port: bash-completion ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- When playing with bash-completion (great job, BTW!) I noticed an error when using "vncviewer": {{{ vncviewer readlink: illegal option -- f usage: readlink [-n] [file ...] }}} It turns out that, big surprise, bash-completion requires the GNU version of the readlink command, not the BSD. Rather than mess around with command line options (it is possible to simply remove the unsupported "-f" option and hope for the best!) I decided to patch in a dependency to "greadlink" from coreutils. Works like a charm, now. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21877> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
