[Port Abandoned] libcompat

[joelmichael@…]

I tried to install fortune via "port install fortune". libcompat is a dependency of fortune. My Darwin Ports is installed in /usr/ports. Here is the text of the error:

chappi:~ joel$ port install fortune

Assign but to maintainer.

Same problem when rebuilding emacs21-21.3.50 ; (missing dlcompat_dev) As a _temporary workaround_ I have used this

gcc_select 3.3 fink install dlcompat_dev gcc_select 4.0 fink install emacs21

It produces a library version that lets emacs build succeed, emacs actually works with X11 (not thoroughfully tested yet, but it compiles some tex, opens frames and launches xdvi).

Someone posted a fix for this on May 17th. It's now July 12th. Could the maintainer please push the fix into the release?

I'm committing the fix and resetting the maintainer to darwinports@….
