quartz-wm fails to build on Tiger PPC because of an unknown cmd field

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The build dies very early:

Making all in src

Before I again invoked the upgrade command, now in debug mode, I invoked the clean function, which did not seem to work correctly, leaving almost 2.5 MB on disk…

Cleaning manually (rm -rf …) delivers a new main.log.

Try the xorg-server port; at the moment, it's newer than the xorg-server-devel port.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

It shows the same behaviour… Actually it's not the X server that does not build, but quartz-wm @1.3.1. Both X servers depend on that package which was not installed before in some earlier version, on Tiger obviously the standard quartz-wm was used.

I'll open a new ticket quartz-wm, this one can be closed.

I don't actually have a Tiger box any more ...

This looks like a case of Tiger's linker not unerstanding some load commands in the dylib. Please try using a MacPorts compiler (like gcc-apple-4.2) instead of the default compiler.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

I'm curious though, what load command is it complaining about? Use otool -l to list all the load commands.

What is the diff or patch? I don't understand the Portfile language…

I took from xorg-xcb-util's Portfile this block (with vi line numbers from quartz-wm's Portfile):

     31 if {${configure.compiler} == "gcc-4.0"} {
     32     configure.compiler gcc-4.2
     33     if {![file exists ${configure.cc}]} {
     34         depends_build-append port:apple-gcc42
     35         configure.compiler apple-gcc-4.2
     36     }
     37 }

The build succeeded but the installation first failed because an unrecorded /opt/local/bin/quartz-wm of version 1.0.1 already existed. I renamed it manually and the installation then succeeded. Otool still reports:

Load command 7
      cmd ?(0x00000024) Unknown load command
  cmdsize 16
000a0400 00000000 

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Yeah, because the otool you have is too old. Thanks, I'll get that setup...
