Antlr dependency bug

[GAlvare]

When I try to install antlr, it says that I still need to install openjdk8, despite that openjdk8-powerpc is installed.

From reading the MacPorts documentation, and looking at the antlr Portfile, it seems that the problem may have something to do with the line below and the need to handle an alternate fallback:

java.fallback openjdk8

However, I also noticed that this seems to be a fallback for if a version of java > 1.4 cannot be found. Since Leopard already seems to have Java 1.5 installed, it is unclear whether the requirement for openjdk8 on my computer may be anoterh bug (?).

@GAlvare, try this. It might work. I am not sure. I do not have a PPC to test, or the time to work on this right now.

1. port uninstall antlr

2. In your local Portfile for antlr, change "java.fallback openjdk8" to "java.fallback openjdk8-powerpc".

3. port install antlr

Let us know whether or not this works. Thanks.

When I try that, I get the error message:

Okay, thanks for testing. I wonder if you had performed a selfupdate recently. Regardless, try this:

port clean antlr
port selfupdate
port install openjdk8-powerpc
port install antlr
