Follow-up Comment #8, bug #57461 (group findutils): Right now findutils 4.9.0 do not build on my PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.5.8 because the subdirectory trees confdir-14B--- and confdir3 cannot be removed.
Adding gl_cv_func_getcwd_path_max=no to configure's list of arguments (that's the way MacPorts works) still produces a failure – but only with confdir-14B---. The routine that creates the confdir3 tree was obviously not used. In a different thread on the bug-gnulib list Paul Eggert suggested in March: gl_cv_func_getcwd_succeeds_beyond_4k=no. Using this as additional "argument" for configure lets configure finish – and MacPorts build the port. On the MacPorts bug report, https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62994, the first solution was to use 'gl_cv_func_getcwd_path_max=yes', the Paul Eggert's solution was tried and seemed to fail, so now presumingly 'gl_cv_func_getcwd_path_max="yes, but with shorter paths"' is used. For me the MacPorts solution fails obviously in case of findutils… _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57461> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
