Bug 59189 – Porting: net-analyzer/netselect-0.3

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED CANTFIX

[Description Robin Munn 2004-08-02 14:14:11 UTC]

I added the "macos" keyword to netselect-0.3.ebuild and tried to emerge it, with the following result:


localhost:/usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/netselect root# emerge -av netselect

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-analyzer/netselect-0.3  0 kB [1] 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
 [1] /usr/local/portage

Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

!!! (no error message)
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add macos keyword to netselect-0.3.ebuild.
2. emerge -av netselect
3.

Actual Results:  
Compilation fails because it can't find the "endian.h" include file.

Expected Results:  
Compilation should have succeeded.

The problem is the same with netselect-0.3-r1

First of all, if you read netselect.c, you'll see that the maintainer does not intend this to run on anything but linux. Fixed the endian.h bug, only to find that some of the necessary include files are missing on OSX. It seems we're out of luck on this one. If you *really* need it to work, I'd suggest contacting the maintainer, or running linux-ppc.

Closing out bugs that've been resolved for a while now...
