You might try backing up, reinstalling the OS, the 10.03.9 combo update, and then MacPorts again. I had to do that last September during the transition from DarwinPorts to MacPorts. >> Works for me.... >> (...) > > Still no luck.

Looks like somebody wrote that SDL code with perl or something. Yech! For example, in the section you mention, I've just discovered that the code not only doesn't consistently use access functions, but it doesn't even consistently use its own local variables! That unit_type_iterates with "un" variable; assigns pUnit = un; though that's a unittype so it should be pUnitType, and a complete waste of time and confusing to have two of the same variables; uses un some places and pUnit in others; and sometimes bypasses the local variables altogether by using "->type" (a no-no) instead of the unit_type() access function! Similar problems with pName and "->name" (another no-no)! The access functions have been around for years, there's no excuse for such bad coding practices. :-( I'll try to find the problems by guess and by golly, but no promises.... Maybe you should lobby the master developers to have SDL be the official platform for 2.1.0 -- after all, in the 2+ years since 2.1 was branched, SDL has gotten somewhat better. Anyway, having a lot of users would help find and fix the bugs! _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
