Comment(by m.rick@…):
So if Python 2.5 has compatibility problems, it is stupid to let it build
unders Snow Leopard if it is known that it was compatibility problem with
it.
More over, it should be possible to port things that are not compatible
together since the aim of MacPort is to let build software and checking
automatically for the needed dependencies ...
I want to build it universal and compatible with older versions of Mac OS
to get retro-compatibility not because I am compiling under Snow Leoaprd,
yes I am running Snow Leoaprd, but I have an olde Mac on which i would
like to be able to run my port, so yes SL doesn't run under PPC macs, but
that's not the problem, the problem is to be able to run a port under an
older machine. I do the compilation once and then run the software. And
there is no option anyway where to tell "I want to run under 10.4 PPC or
10.5 Universal".
And I will not compile under the older mac because it is not made for, not
powerful enough and while it will doing this I will not be able to use it
and for any other reasons.
And the I couldn't get Gimp.app compilingin too because gegl is not
compiling there is a problem too ...
Macport shouldn't give give the possibility to let compiling that are not
working or enabling a dev mode that let give the users the choice, like
Fink is doing.
