UPD. Builds fine on 10.6 PPC, only Rosetta fails.

The port was just updated to a newer version; you might try again.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Can you try building again, once the latest update (the switch to using CMake) comes through?

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Of note, I've built the latest version of protobuf3-cpp successfully all the way back to 10.5, without any issues. Including today's update, which migrated the port from autotools to cmake.

Update: All of those builds were Intel, including 32-bit. Just installed it on my old 10.5 PPC machine too, again with no issue.

I will try Rosetta now. Thank you. (Native PPC was consistently fine.)

UPD. Awesome, it builds in Rosetta now with no issues! Thanks again.

Great, glad the issue is resolved!

p.s. When providing an update, be sure to reply with a new comment, rather than editing an existing one. Reason being, we don't receive any notifications via Trac, when an edit occurs. (Edit is fine for fixing typos and such, but be sure to post a new comment otherwise.)

I wouldn't have known the issue was fixed, if I hadn't brought up this ticket. Lol
