slrn-devel @0.9.9pre-69 fails to build with slang2 on Snow Leopard

[barryjprice@…]

After realising that slang1 does not support UTF8 display properly, I read that I needed to install slrn with the slang2 library.

I removed the slang library:

port uninstall slang

and installed the slang2 library:

port install slang2

Attempting to then reinstall slrn so as to build against the new library failed - the "slrn" port tried to bring in the regular slang library.

So I attempted to build slrn-devel instead, with slang2 already in place:

mbp:~ barry$ port list installed |grep slang
slang2                         @2.1.4          lang/slang2

mbp:~ barry$ port variants slrn-devel
slrn-devel has the variants:
(+)pull
(+)ssl
(-)universal: Build for multiple architectures

mbp:~ barry$ sudo port -d install slrn-devel

I was able to compile slrn-release version directly from slrn homepage, using macports slang2

​http://www.slrn.org/download.html#release

$ wget ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn/slrn-0.9.9p1.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf slrn-0.9.9p1.tar.gz
$ cd slrn-0.9.9p1
$ ./configure --with-slang=/opt/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

This version compiled ok and seems to work fine after few mins of testing.

---> Building slrn-devel

After switching from slang to slang2, you needed to clean slrn-devel before attempting to build again.

Note that I just updated slrn to 0.9.9p1 so you may want to use that instead.

slrn and slrn-devel now unconditionally depend on slang2; using version 1 of slang is no longer possible.
