mutt won't build on 10.4.4, dies with gcc error.

[pdxmph@…]

I tried to install the mutt port on a fresh install of DarwinPorts 1.2. The machine is an Intel iMac with the developer tools provided on the install disc.

gettext and iconv built and installed successfully, but the mutt build died with:

Assigning to maintainer.

Since this bug makes it impossible to read mail on Intel Macs using mutt, I think it would deserve a severity rating of blocker (but I don't have permissions to change it myself).

If someone has a tip, workaround, or patch, I'd much appreciate hearing about it

since as it is I can't use my new Intel iMac for the daily chores.

a month with no updates.... i ran into this today trying to install mutt. i agree with Detmar's comments on priority. i am going to try and reinstall xcode (which is a stupid solution and makes no sense), and also use fink.

[yeled@…]

I have been away, got back today. Is your build failing on Intel as well?

[spammethehardest@…]

yes it's an intel mac mini running 10.4.6 osx, did only the apple software update patches. the first thing i did after installing opendarwin was to install mutt so it was pretty close to virgin.

[yeled@…]

ok, considering that mutt is rather old, have you tried mutt-devel?

this bug is upstream for now..

[yeled@…]

Brendan Cully has saved the day. I am trying a workaround now. there is no gcc 3.3 on Intel.

[yeled@…]

if you update your source now, can you try again to clean and build, please?

mutt wont build on this platform.

please try mutt-devel. it is stable.
