p5-mac-carbon doesn't build with build_arch x86_64

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

p5-mac-carbon doesn't build when build_arch is x86_64 (like it is by default on Snow Leopard) or presumably when build_arch is ppc64 (e.g. if the user set it to this on Leopard).

This makes sense since AFAIK there is no Carbon on 64-bit Mac OS X but the port should still handle this more gracefully, for example by forcing build_arch to i386 or ppc.

Of course, if perl itself is 64bit would building this 32bit have a chance?

Anything using this module should be considered obsolete as of Snow Leopard.

If you know of another method to access Internet Config data (specifically: the name of the user's chosen web browser)I would be happy to switch my openbrowser port/script to use it. Until then, it needs p5-mac-carbon.

Another instance of where universal might help?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It can't build for x86_64, so it can't build universal for i386/x86_64 either.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Forcing build_arch to i386 doesn't seem to be helping either.

I found another method for openbrowser to use.

FWIW, the Amarok port suffers the same issue.

• r66878: I updated p5-mac-carbon to 0.82 which already forces itself to 32-bit.
