#27777: ige-mac-integration will not build --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: m.rick@… | Owner: mike@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: ige-mac-integration --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by m.rick@…): So if Python 2.5 has compatibility problems, it is stupid to let it build unders Snow Leopard if it is known that it was compatibility problem with it. More over, it should be possible to port things that are not compatible together since the aim of MacPort is to let build software and checking automatically for the needed dependencies ... I want to build it universal and compatible with older versions of Mac OS to get retro-compatibility not because I am compiling under Snow Leoaprd, yes I am running Snow Leoaprd, but I have an olde Mac on which i would like to be able to run my port, so yes SL doesn't run under PPC macs, but that's not the problem, the problem is to be able to run a port under an older machine. I do the compilation once and then run the software. And there is no option anyway where to tell "I want to run under 10.4 PPC or 10.5 Universal". And I will not compile under the older mac because it is not made for, not powerful enough and while it will doing this I will not be able to use it and for any other reasons. And the I couldn't get Gimp.app compilingin too because gegl is not compiling there is a problem too ... Macport shouldn't give give the possibility to let compiling that are not working or enabling a dev mode that let give the users the choice, like Fink is doing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27777#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
