BUG: libiconv 1.11_4+darwin_7 needs gperf 3.0.2

[william.allen.simpson@…]

Many packages require libiconv. Panther gperf is 2.7.2, but installing a current 3.0.2 fixes the problem. Please update the dependency.

The problem is the use of new -m option in the build script.

Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_textproc_libiconv/work/libiconv-1.11 && make -f Makefile.devel" returned error 2
Command output: gcc -O lib/genaliases.c -o genaliases
./genaliases > lib/aliases.gperf 3> canonical.sh 4> canonical_local.sh
rm -f genaliases
gperf -m 10 lib/aliases.gperf > tmp.h

actually, there's a variant that does just that.

platform darwin 7 {

build.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 configure.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 depends_build-append port:gperf

}

that variant should automatically be chosen on panther. are you running the latest version of macports and have you synced recently?

[pipping@…]

the above, more readable

platform darwin 7 {
    build.env-append        MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3
    configure.env-append    MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3
    depends_build-append    port:gperf
}

Not sure what that was, but I'm glad it works for you now.
