mg @20081211 - fails to build on Panther

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

for Panther the addition of "#include <time.h>" in sysdef.h solves the problem.

Thanks for the report, I don't have any machines still running Panther these days. I'll make sure that adding <time.h> doesn't introduce other build issues in more recent releases.

There's no need to worry about that if you do something like:

platform darwin 7 {
    patchfiles-append my_timespec_patch.diff
}

[lfk@…]

Add to port tree as .../editors/mg/files/patch-timespec.diff

[lfk@…]

Patch for .../editors/mg/Portfile

[lfk@…]

There is no harm in including time.h directly and though I like the idea of adding a platform directive to the portfile, I really don't have a way to test it. I've attached a Portfile update and an additional file containing the patch for the timespec issue.
