tmux: does not build on 10.4

[200309@…]

Tried to:

port install tmux

And it failed.

10.4.11
PowerBook G3 Pismo 500MHz

Does it require a newer system? or?

see attached main.log

This seems like the key part of the log:

My libproc.h is in /usr/include and the comment block at the top says

Leopard wasn't released until 2007, so I don't see why Tiger wouldn't have it, too...

libproc.h as it exists on Lion

Actually looking at it again, all the function prototypes have __OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING and then either __MAC_10_5, __MAC_10_6, or __MAC_10_7 in them... You might be out of luck here...

Is there a way to determine if a port will compile on PowerPC 10.4?

That is, what are system requirements for a particular port?

It's normally up to the portfile author to put something like the following code block in their portfile:

pre-fetch {
    if {${os.platform} == "darwin" && ${os.major} < 9} {
        ui_error "${name} is only supported on OS X 10.5 Leopard or later."
        return -code error "unsupported platform version"
    }
}

Although I'd like it if this were handled by base though... Edit: made a new ticket for that idea: #38508

ok tried to compile 10.5 PPC and it works

Oh yes! That would be great.

Rather than waiting for a compile to finish, I would know right away whether I am using a supported platform.

That would not have helped because tmux upstream doesn’t list supported platforms; a MacPorts user would have had to run into problems for us to even know. I guess you won that particular lottery.
