synergy fails to build on Lion 10.7.

[sean.hafeez@…]

After installing Lion, I removed all my ports and did a reinstall as I saw some strange behavior. One of the applications, synergy will not build anymore.

Log attached.

This seems like a hard one to fix because synergy requires QuickDraw APIs that have been removed in 10.7 (also why it's had to be built 32-bit for a while). I don't know of any way to resolve this short of waiting for someone to rewrite its OS X support, or to build it against an earlier SDK. I don't know if we have a way to do that, or if it's something we should do.

No, disregard that, that seems only to be true of the version currently in the port. The latest version, 1.3.7, doesn't have this problem (but may have others: #26516)

Merging this ticket into #26516 since it looks like the fix is to update the synergy port.
