[MacPorts] #50380: midori: current requisites won't build on PPC Tiger
#50380: midori: current requisites won't build on PPC Tiger -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: asiganael@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: tiger | Port: midori -------------------------+-------------------------------- I know Tiger is very old, but I hoped that midori, being "lightweight", would allow to browse modern webpages on PPC Tiger. Websites designed with new standards no longer work -or have issues- with the available versions of Safari and Firefox for Tiger. Even StackExchange has serious issues with such old browser versions. Trying to build on Tiger, and after *most* requisites were successfully installed, I hit a problem in webkit-gtk-2.0 which seems to have a difficult or impossible solution. The details and the logs are in this other ticket: [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50352] Would it be possible to substitute webkit-gtk-2.0 with other webkit package that can be built on Tiger (if it exists) ?

Not that I know of. webkit-gtk-2.0 is already an outdated legacy package that is required to build on platforms that don't support the use of libc++ by default (OS X 10.8 and earlier). Most current GNOME applications that depend on webkit require either webkit-gtk or webkit2-gtk so these earlier platforms are restricted to older versions (typically GNOME 3.8 or so) that support the older API. I don't know of any version of webkit-gtk that ever built on your platform. Sorry. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50380#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
