NCursesW does NOT build universal on ppc. Glib2's currently open ticket is # #20372 I reported ncursesw here -- 10 days ago to the maintainer, 8 days ago with a solution to the list. It thinks it is doing cross compilation, but the cross compilation fails because it doesn't trigger the cross compilation test. If you are on PPC, building universal for i386, then: [quote] Nope, turns out it needs CFLAGS='-arch i386' CXXFLAGS='-arch i386' To clarify: The old build was specifying the cross compiler flags correctly, but was NOT specifying the build arch. Hence, the cross compiler test did not come out correct, and the program does not build. [/quote] I have just opened ncursesw Ticket #21434 (new defect) Ncursesw thinks that if you can execute code produced by the compiler, then you specified the local compiler, not the cross compiler. Not sure how or if this will prevent x86 from compiling universal (does Rosetta activate on unix executables, or just applications?) _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
