Hello. I hope this is the right mailing list for this.
I've tried to compile libpcap (from the stable and unstable trees) on
PowerPC OS X 10.4.11. It fails with a compiler error in the BPF code
about a constant that doesn't exist. When I looked at the code, it
turned to be a hack working around a bug in OS X 10.3. Well, I guess
10.4 fixed it. When I took out the code, the library compiled and has
been working perfectly for several weeks.
I offer a patch to take it out (by changing the #ifdef around it) for
10.4 users if anyone else has been having the problem. I suspect that if
10.3 is still officially supported by Fink, the build script should
still check the OS version.
Hope this helps.
