ethereal port broken

[smith.kennedy@…]

The ethereal port seems to be broken. There seems to be a binary port available, but it didn't run when I ran it from Terminal.app. When I started X11 and ran it from an xterm, it crashed.

I tried building it from source using "sudo port -s install ethereal", but that also didn't launch from Terminal, and running from X11, it crashed again. Here is the crash report:

I've freshly rebuilt ethereal and most of its dependencies, and it appears to work fine. Where did you get the 'binary port' from? Did you try building from source?

[steve.rossen@…]

You just have to edit epan/filesystem.c and change line 303

if (getcwd(curdir, sizeof curdir) == NULL) {

to

if (getcwd(curdir, path_max) == NULL) {

there is more you can do to make it play nice with the whole port system if you want but that is how you fix Ethereal 0.99.0

[opendarwin.org@…]

Created patchfile per ideas below (and in ethereal bug), patchfile committed and added to ethereal.com bug for upstream inclusion.
