#25873: gtk2 +universal fails because sysctl hw.cpu64bit_capable doesn't work on Tiger -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: nox@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: gtk2 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- It appears gtk2 uses "`sysctl hw.cpu64bit_capable`" in its universal variant, but this doesn't exist on Tiger so the port fails with this peculiar error message: {{{ $ sudo port -du upgrade --enforce-variants gtk2 +universal DEBUG: epoch: in tree: 0 installed: 0 DEBUG: gtk2 2.20.1_0 exists in the ports tree DEBUG: gtk2 2.20.1_0 +darwin_8+x11 is the latest installed DEBUG: gtk2 2.20.1_0 +darwin_8+x11 is active DEBUG: Merging existing variants '+darwin_8+x11' into variants DEBUG: new fully merged portvariants: darwin_8 + universal + x11 + DEBUG: Changing to port directory: /Users/rschmidt/macports/dports/x11/gtk2 DEBUG: OS darwin/8.11.1 (Mac OS X 10.4) arch i386 DEBUG: org.macports.load registered provides 'load', a pre-existing procedure.

That sounds promising, and appears to still exist on Snow Leopard. Or we could use hw.cpu64bit_capable on Leopard and up and just special-case Tiger. I don't know what the PowerPC equivalent of hw.optional.x86_64 is though because I don't have a Mac with a G5 processor to check on. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25873> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
