Hello, I want to make a portfile for IMAP test.
http://www.imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Installation
I built it by hand, but ran into some problems, hopefully I can get
some pointers here.
In my .bashrc I have
export CLICOLOR=1
When I try to build this I get
$./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: ls -t
appears to fail. Make sure there is not a broken
alias in your environment
configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock
If I remove the CLICOLOR variable, it will build fine. Since I have
had MacPorts build so many things, and never had this issue, I was
hoping someone here can explain to me how to make sure MacPorts does
not get hung on this issue.
The man page for `ls`, as far as I can see, is not explaining how the
CLICOLOR could affect the output of `ls`. ( Aside from coloring it of
course )
Second, as per the install notes, imaptest also needs library
functions for dovecot, but does not need make install, libs just need
to be there. There is already a Dovecot port, but that will install
the entire package. In this case, do I make a new Dovecot port that
skips the make install part, or do I wrap this all into one?
Third, when a distro points to name-latest.tar.gz, am I to pick a
version or just always stick with the latest, which is a moving
target? I can not even guarantee that in that download path the older
versions stick around much, it looks like they roll them out every now
and then.
Thank you.
