Hey All --
I ran across this trying to get openjdk6 ported to 10.5/ppc:
Error: Cannot install openjdk6 for the arch(s) 'powerpc' because
Error: its dependency apache-ant does not build for the required
arch(s) by default
Error: and does not have a universal variant.
The apache-ant port is written in Java, has no architecture-specific
dependencies, and will build on any architecture. If I actually try to
build+install it, it works fine:
---> Staging apache-ant into destroot
---> Installing apache-ant @1.8.1_0
---> Activating apache-ant @1.8.1_0
---> Cleaning apache-ant
How should I work around this constraint? It seems a bit odd that the ports
system is pre-emptively blocking me from trying to build something that will
work just fine, rather than providing a setting that allows the few ports that
*are* architecture specific to declare themselves as such -- but maybe I'm
misunderstanding what this feature does.
