#52070: tmux @ 2.2 compile failed in tiger ppc ------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: zhangchaowang@… | Owner: tessarek@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: tiger powerpc Port: tmux | ------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by tessarek@…): Several things to take into consideration: * tmux already had some issues compiling on 10.4 2 years ago * these things should be changed upstream -> open a ticket with tmux developers * the tmux devs don't care about ancient OS versions * the change I did to fix the problem with 10.4 was a workaround, not a solution * if you want me to change tmux code to work on 10.4, I need access to a 10.4 machine (the person who reported the last 10.4 issue gave me remote access) * changes to tmux that involve old OS versions might not even work, because tmux uses features not available on older OS versions Please note that I'm not unwilling to make changes, but I am unsure about the feasibility. At one point, people have to understand that newer software might not run on systems that are 11 years old. Especially, if the processor type is not even used anymore and Apple deprecates API from OS versions not even 4 years old. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52070#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
