is platypus maintained? + crosscompiling (intel + ppc)
hi all, i'm new to the list and to macports. i've succeed porting the osx build of my project (http://clam.iua.upf.edu) macports. since we are used to linux development it suits our needs very much. i have problems installing platypus, are these servers temporarily down, or just not maintained anymore? $ sudo port install platypus Password: ---> Fetching Platypus ---> Attempting to fetch platypus3.2.src.zip from http://sveinbjorn.sytes.net/files/software/platypus/ ... actually my dns cannot even resolve the ip of any of the mirrors. on another topic, i'd like to crosscompile (intel+ppc) all my project's dependencies. i have already done some research on how to this in unix-like packages, but i guess that the compile/link flags should change depending on the packages. so i'd like to know if there is some documentation or experience whatsoever on that. thanks, pau -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
Well, current version of Platypus is now 3.4, so perhaps it isn't being maintained properly? Also, the "correct" URL seems to be sveinbjorn.org, not sveinbjorn.sytes.net (that said, both point to the same IP). Unfortunately the server does not seem to be responding. I would recommend trying to find a pre-built copy of Platypus on one of the software aggregate sites that keeps its own mirror of downloads. Alternately, you could just wait a day or two and see if the server comes back. On Dec 31, 2006, at 1:35 PM, Pau Arumi wrote:

Correct: the platypus port is not maintained. ("port info platypus" says "Maintainers: nomaintainer@macports.org") The platypus site seems to be back up now. I can "port fetch platypus" and it gets the 3.2 source. If someone who uses platypus would like to upgrade the port to 3.4 I'm sure that would be fine. I could do it but since I don't use the software it would be difficult for me to test that it is functional.
