BUG: lsof-4.70

[dports@…]

The lsof version 4.70 tarball is no longer available. And when I tried to bump the version myself with a patch to the port, I cannot make it find the kernel header files it is looking for during the configure phase. During the configure phase, it complains as shown below. And the files it asks for appear to be in /System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Headers but I can't make it see them.

Lsof cannot find some Darwin XNU kernel header files it needs. They should have already been downloaded from:

​http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/index.html

and then installed. (See 00FAQ for download and installation instructions.) Please specify the path to the place where they were installed.

Actually, lsof needs some headers which only come with the kernel source and aren't on the system (hence the files/macosx_kernel_headers.tar.bz2 file with the port). The big reason I haven't updated this port is that it takes time to figure out which headers are needed, whether they've been changed in any of the dot-releases, and put those in he aforementioned tarball.

It's on my list of updates to do, but somewhat low...

Currently, When i run port install lsof, port sits in a state where it just chills eating 100% cpu until killed. On viewing the more verbose output, we see that we are asked the input path question infinite times... It'd be nice if something was done about this, since right now it's just going to eat cpu time without telling anyone.

(and it's been like 2 months too)

No longer maintaining this port.

This port is broken and no longer necessary because it is included with OS X, so it has been removed.
