#25350: ncursesw universal build x86_64 fails on 32 bit platforms -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: mcl_guard-netmail@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: ncursesw -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- The port file for ncursesw assumes a 64 bit platform when determining what archs require cross compiling turned on. This results in an error trying build the universal variant on a 32 bit machine.
