screen port fails to compile under Snow Leopard 10.6

[mina.macports@…]

This ticket is essentially a resurrection of #13009, except it's for Snow Leopard instead of Leopard this time.

Install attempt output:

Just need to pull patches from  http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/screen/screen-16/

I'll get around to it eventually, but there isn't really much reason to use screen from MacPorts on Snow Leopard.

Actually there is.

The screen that ships with Leopard, and Snow Leopard, is buggy.

It simply refuses to remember the current directory.

Every new window started within a screen session starts in ~, no matter what the original directory was when screen was started.

Just googled it actually, and people have been coming up with some  nasty hacks to work around that problem.

I cannot reproduce this issue.

Also... where did the giant list of cc'd people come from?

I'm not sure, but I was on the python26 ticket (#20284) and it looks like someone copied my email address over to this ticket when, although I use screen and I'm interested, is not nearly blocking to me as the python26 issue is.

I've removed myself. Please don't cherrypick my email and CC me on random tickets.

[tomvons@…]

Odd, I was on the python26 ticket as well... though I actually have an interest in this ticket, coincidentally enough.

I have the same problem/motivation as mina.macports@, no matter where I start screen, new windows open in ~ and not in the directory I started screen in. This was the same for 10.5 as well, which is my only motivation for installing screen from ports.

Someone who can reproduce this, please provide more detailed steps. screen definitely preserves the working directory for me, and there's nothing particularly interesting about my shell setup.

[toby@…]

(on Snow Leopard... not interested in Leopard)

[tomvons@…]

Try adding this to your ~/.screenrc:

shell -$SHELL

Without that line, it works as it should (though screen from macports and screen on ubuntu and debian systems don't have a problem with it).

Patch to compile screen-4.0.3 in Mac OS X Snow Leopard

[mccune.jeff@…]

I created the patch based on the patches located at  http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/screen/screen-16/patches/ and vproc_priv.h from  http://launchd.macosforge.org/trac/browser/trunk/launchd/src/vproc_priv.h?rev=23880

Apply the patch using patch -p1 < screen-4.0.3-snowleopard.patch.

Here's how I've compiled screen while MacPorts is updated:

./configure --enable-locale --enable-telnet --enable-colors256 --enable-rxvt_osc --prefix=/usr/local

Enjoy.

Patch for Snow Leopard

In case you missed my message on irc -- I'm using this patch now and screen builds and runs correctly with it.

[ryandesign@…]

Committed Rainer's patch in r62349. Thanks.

[ryandesign@…]

This breaks the build on Leopard.

[ryandesign@…]

Fixed Leopard in r62355.
