phonon @4.4.2 fails to build on Tiger

[roberto@…]

This port does not build on my system. Please see attached build log.

The relevant error message in the log says:

Target org.macports.patch returned: find: 1: unknown expression primary

It is also relevant that you are on Tiger, because in the post-patch phase, phonon is trying to run a command like:

find ${worksrcpath}/phonon -name "*.h" -depth 1

And "-depth 1" is not a valid argument to the version of "find" that is on Tiger.

See #26034 for how this same problem was fixed in the qt4-mac port.

Well, that's certainly my bad. Working on it ...

So, I looked at #26034 like you recommended. However, it left me scratching my head and trying to figure out why you didn't just replace 'find <blah> -depth 1' with 'find <blah> -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1'. I made that change in the phonon Portfile on my system and it worked just fine. (My apologies for not looking more closely at the initial build log, else I would have recommended the fix in my initial ticket submission.)

I had no idea 'find' in 10.4 supported "maxdepth" and "mindepth"; I'll make that change pronto after a quick test to make sure it's compatible with 10.6 ... should be. Thanks for the quick fix!

Fixed in r75279.
