kile-devel not for OSX10.4 Tiger

[Joachim Osnabryg]

Helo
to whoever, who wants to install the kile-devel port on OSX 10.4 Tiger:

That is not possible. I want to state this here, if someone plans to try  
it.

But if ever there is someone who installed the kile-devel port on OSX 10.4  
with success, I'm still interested, how you succeeded!

On the way to it, I have had help and advice by the MacPorts people, but  
after installing - with help - automoc (one of the prerequisites) and  
gtk-doc - I could not go further and finally gave up.

See if interested the threads on this macports.user list:

kile-devel port failed on Tiger
automoc install failed on OSX 10.4 intel
kile-devel & deps ports failing on Tiger OSX 10.4-intel

The last advice, I followed with success had been (see last row of the  
message below):

"In the mean time, install the gtk-doc port to work around it."

So I have: gtk-doc @1.13_0 (active)
but no further $ sudo port install kile-devel
succeeded.

Regards, joachim

The last message I got from MacPorts' side had been:

Great!

So we don't forget, I have filed a bug report for this problem:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23584

Hopefully in the future I will have time to reproduce this problem on
Tiger and work on the proper solution. But please understand that users of
Tiger will encounter increasing frustration with MacPorts as time goes on,
as port maintainers and software developers test with Tiger less and less
frequently because it is years out of date now. If possible, please
upgrade to Snow Leopard. I'm glad I did.

This is:

I have filed a ticket for this problem so that we can fix it:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23583

In the mean time, install the gtk-doc port to work around it.
