Hello, I'm using since last week macports on a powerbook G4 1.33 12" aluminium.
I wanted to use gsmartcontrol, encfs and extfat for an external wd book hdd. But I was until yet only capable to build slocate. For gsmartcontrol I ran into issues with python38, and a very slow build process. german: https://www.macuser.de/threads/macports-gsmartcontrol-auf-powerbook-g4-1-33ghz-12-aluminium-768-mb-kompilieren-dauert-tage.845001/ python38 python38: fails on Leopard: Undefined symbols: :info:build "_pthread_threadid_np" https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59772 https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/59772/patch-python38-leopard-tiger.diff python38: Disable posix._fcopyfile function on Tiger #5987 https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/5987 python38: fix build on older systems #6492 https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/6492 python38: fix build on older systems there is no copyfile on Tiger work around lack of pthread_threadid_np on < 10.6 closes: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59827 closes: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59772 https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/17a67bbbeb98bfbc27d006d41c699d5c84a489dc python38: fix build on older systems - second try #6542 https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/6542 ________ gcc 7.50 Also I ran into issues with cmake/gcc7.5.0 cmake 3.16.0: does not build on PPC Mac OS X 10.5.8, "Bus Error" https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59832 I'm not sure, if I should simply wait for macports 2.6.3, or whenever the patches are updated, to solve those issues, or if I might have a chance, to cope with it by installing e.g. gcc 7.4.0 and cope with the python38 issue myself. E.g. I'm uncertain, which commit I should use to roll back gcc, because I don't have a older version installed, which would make the process much more easier to work around. ggaussling
