cryptcat-unix-1.2.1 build error

[wustenfuchs@…]

2003 Apple Macintosh G4 Powerbook 12" - Mac OS-X 10.3.9 - XCode 1.5 - MacPorts 1.6.0

Cryptcat failing to build - I know very little about these things but seems to be defaulting to /usr at some point...

Trace mode can sometimes disallow access to too much. Does it fail if you install with simply sudo port -d install cryptcat?

[wustenfuchs@…]

Yes. Same error.

[wustenfuchs@…]

Keeps giving this error regardless of switch options.

[jmr@…]

I committed a fix in r38045, but I don't have a Panther machine to test on. Could you please try it and report back? (You may first need to wait up to 30 minutes for the rsync server to get the change.)

[wustenfuchs@…]

Ok, thanks, i will try it soon. All tickets reported by me have now been tested for the trace-option issue, and it seems that, in all, three tickets (#15835, #15849 and #15842) were affected, and can now be closed. Thanks again for that, it is very much appreciated.

[wustenfuchs@…]

Umm, sorry if this is a silly question and off-topic, but how do i force macports to download the new version? Nothing i do seems to work (-dncufs) ?

[jmr@…]

sudo port sync will bring your ports tree up to date.

[wustenfuchs@…]

Thank you, and cryptcat works just fine, and thank you again.

[jmr@…]

Great!
