bsdsfv doesn't work correctly when compiled 64-bit

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

bsdsfv doesn't work properly when compiled 64-bit (as is the default on Snow Leopard). I ​filed an upstream bug report but they have not reacted to it, nor the other bug reports that I see have been reported over the years, so I guess the project is dead. Perhaps a local fix can be developed for MacPorts.

Or, perhaps the cksfv port works better. It has been updated more recently. If so, perhaps we should mark the bsdsfv port "replaced_by cksfv".

Hm, can you make a port only compile itself in "32-bit mode"?

I hate to say "works for me", but I have no 64-bit only system yet so bsdsfv still works for me.

Saying that cksfv replaces bsdsfv is harsh. There are several tools in MacPorts which solve the same problem, csfv and bsdsfv are just one example.

Maybe build-arch can be used in the Portsfile. I'll try it later.

No problem keeping bsdsfv, if it can either be made to work properly in 64-bit mode or forced to 32-bit mode. The attached patch​ does the latter, and makes sure it's always UsingTheRightCompiler. Does this look ok to you?

Looks awesome!

I can't change this ticket into an update ticket, so if you can change the type do it or you'll have to create a new one.

Thanks for reporting and fixing this, being a maintainer have never been easier ; )

Have a nice weekend!
