Error: ophcrack only runs on little-endian machines.
I tried to run port clean all and it dies when it gets an error
message on ophcrack. Should this be part of a PPC-based ports tree?
Looks like ophcrack is using exit in the pre-fetch phase, which is
bad for certain operations (like 'port clean' and possibly others)
as I found a few years back. I thought there was a discussion on
how best to handle these situations, but I sure can't seem to find
the email thread in the archives...
This has been posted on the users list.
I'm not sure how this problem should be fixed. Exiting after pre-
fetch would be stupid as the file should not be downloaded at all
on a PowerPC Mac.
Bryan mentions an old thread about this subject, can anyone
remember this ?
There was this thread I finally found:
<http://opendarwin.org/pipermail/darwinports/2006-March/032565.html>
though it seems nothing came of it. The xorg port still uses exit,
just like you do (exit in pre-fetch), so I'm not sure if it would
experience the same issues.
The time I ran into this was from bug 1449,
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/1449>
and I simply removed the exit, though it was in 'variant darwin'
instead of pre-fetch.
