RAR is included; your port builds the stand-alone 7zz (Alone2) and sets neither DISABLE_RAR nor DISABLE_RAR_COMPRESS. This 7zz can decompress my .rar file. It has the unRAR license restriction. Your port of 26.02 runs as is on macppc. That's good news, because 24.08 would not compile without a patch in C/CpuArch.h to remove a wrong defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN). Upstream has fixed CpuArch.h and added a comment, "// _LITTLE_ENDIAN macro can be defined for big-endian platform with some compilers". On Tue, 01 Sep 2026 03:50:59 -0600 "Anthony J.

I had a mystuff/archivers/7zip of 24.08 but never shared it with this list. It had pledge patches, a -rar subpackage like p7zip, and 7zCon.sfx for self-extracting archives. I will try to graft those features onto this port of 26.02. My port of 24.08 also downloaded the linux-arm binary to install its HTML manual. (The HTML came with the binaries, but not with the source.) This is less than useful, because browsers like firefox don't unveil /usr/local/share/doc/7zip/MANUAL/ (but I was reading it with emacs M-x eww). A manpage would be more useful. --gkoehler
