-lreadline missing?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

getline is not available in the OS X system library for 10.6 and earlier. Typical fix is to supply a replacement function for those platforms.

See ​gnome-session/files/patch-gnome-session-check-accelerated-gl-helper.c.diff for an example.

moreutils: try to fix build on 10.6 remove is_utf8

see #53359

[kencu (Ken)]

Kurt, I think the fix is to replace the missing getline function in is_utf8.c instead. I've done this on a number of other ports for 10.6.

I don't know if removing utf8 will work, but I don't think that's the way to go here.

I can do this over the next couple of days sometime -- I use 10.6 all day long. -- Ken

[kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)]

Ok, I'll commit any patches. I'm a little hesitate on spending a lot of time on old OS versions.

Replying to ballapete:

moreutils 0.60_0 built!

So this can be closed?

IMO: Yes!

Closing as requested.

moreutils: Re-enable building on Leopard and Tiger

Building on Tiger was disabled because parallel failed to build.
Now that we no longer include parallel in moreutils, this is no
longer a problem.

See: #24279

No reason was given why building on Leopard was disabled in
1f118454893940ec44023e64246b3f9af5ade936. It builds fine for me
when the Snow Leopard patch is added.

See: #53359
