windowmaker@0.95.9_1 Portfile on Tiger PPC doesn't compile as-is.

[garoffoli (garoffoli)]

Trying to compile windowmaker as-is doesn't work, because apple-gcc42 doesn't correctly support C99.

It needs

PortGroup legacysupport 1.1

and

configure.compiler macports-gcc-7

and now it compiles fine.

Does it work with passing -std=C99? If not, then old Xcode gccs should be blacklisted, but we need not hardcode a specific compiler (I am pretty sure it will build with gcc14 or gcc6 just as well).

Could you say what does it need legacysupport for? What error do you get otherwise? On 10.6 I did not need it.

Also, no need to use a newer gcc, this works:

configure.cflags-append \
                    -std=c99

Adding legacysupport on packages that don't build it's the first thing I try. It's a "hack" that doesn't really resolve the issue. But it works fine.

legacysupport adds functions that are missing or different on old macOS. If you are experiencing an error that points to such a function, adding legacysupport is a reasonable thing to try. You did not show us what error you got so we cannot say whether it was reasonable in this case.

legacysupport has nothing to do with what C standard the code will use or what the compiler will support. Apple GCC 4.2 supports C99 just fine but it defaults to C89. If you want C99 you have to ask for it with a -std flag.

windowmaker: update to 0.96.0

See: #70501

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Does that take care of it? Does it now compile on Tiger PPC? If not, please attach the main.log.

I currently can't compile windowmaker due to the pango dependency failing to install. #70515

[garoffoli (garoffoli)]

I currently tried to install windowmaker@0.96.0 removing the "pango" dependecy (It seems to not be used at all). Wmaker just now crashes on startup.
