#20739: Allow ports to indicate supported architectures -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by njbutko@…): As a MacPorts user (not developer), I think this is critical. It would have headed off the majority of these Snow Leopard issues before they even started. By default, I would like to see all dependencies built universally with the maximum amount of available architectures (including arm6/arm7 if applicable). This would allow for maximum flexibility -- if I want to install OpenCV, which links to Carbon and old Quicktime libraries and must be built in 32-bit mode, I still want the dependency libpng to be installed in the most flexible way. That way, later if I want to develop an iphone program that links to graphviz, which links to libpng, I'll be all set. It's really unfortunate that "port install foo" tries to only compile the default system architecture, and not something appropriate for foo. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20739#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
