boxes not working (in Lion?)

Reported by: calsaiwing@… Owned by: StefKKK

Component: ports Version: 2.0.3

Port: boxes

Description

I have been using the port boxes for a year or so and it had been working great. Since I upgraded to Lion it seemed to have stopped working. It built and installed just fine, but no matter how I call it I always get "boxes: Bad address" in return. The only commands that work were "boxes -v" and "boxes -h". I am wondering if other people are seeing the same thing, or is it just me.

Originally I posted this question to the MacPorts mailing list (http://old.nabble.com/boxes-not-working-in-Lion--td32686644.html) and Ryan Schmidt suggested

If you have Xcode 4.2 maybe it doesn't like being compiled with clang; try llvm-gcc-4.2: 

sudo port clean boxes 
sudo port uninstall boxes 
sudo port install boxes configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 

If you have Xcode 4.1 maybe it doesn't like being compiled with llvm-gcc-4.2; try gcc-4.2: 

sudo port clean boxes 
sudo port uninstall boxes 
sudo port install boxes configure.compiler=gcc-4.2 

However, I tried both of them and they resulted in the same behavior.

I am on 10.7.2 with Xcode 4.1 and have updated everything on macports just yesterday.

Port no longer has a maintainer.

I am having the exact same issue. I'm running 10.7.4 and have Xcode 4.2. Happy to attach the crash log, but I don't know where it would be located.

I'm having the same problem, but adding the option '-m32' to the compiler and linker by

make CFLAGS="-ansi -I. -Iregexp -Wall -W -m32" LDFLAGS="-Lregexp -m32"

solves it for me

Boxes has been upgraded to 1.2 and has moved to github.

This old version built successfully on all x86_64 systems, including 10.7, but apparently not as i386 on 10.6.

This port was just updated. Are you still seeing the issue?
