fpp: destroot fails

[oub.oub.oub@…]

Hello I tried to install fpp on macports 1.8.1 and I obtained the following error.

I found (macports 1.8.1) the following error:

 Staging fpp into destroot
 Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command " cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_fpp/work/fdfpp"

 install: all/fpp: No such file or directory
 make: *** [install] Error 71
 
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

what shall I do?

I can't even get through the build phase on Leopard or Snow Leopard.

fpp hasn't been updated since 1997. I'm not surprised it doesn't work anymore. If you can suggest how to fix it, we'll be happy to update the portfile.

I get the same result.

Some investigation shows that install is looking for the executable "fpp" in the "all" directory. The executable isn't there because it wasn't made.

Going into the "all" directory I can see that some of the object files exist as well as a lower level Makefile. I tried making just that Makefile, and I get an error when Yacc/Bison attempts to compile src/eval.y. These diagnostics are suppressed from the higher-level make.

yacc ../src/eval.y

I don't know Yacc/Bison. Any experts out there?
