As far as I know, the buildslaves more or less do a `port install` with the default MacPorts configuration; they don't do anything out of the ordinary. So most C-language ports are built for deployment on the host operating system. > Out of curiosity: If the binary packages for 10.7 are not built against the > 10.7 SDK, it ought to be possible to rename them and put them in the right > download directory on 10.6 and thus trick MacPorts into installing them, > which should give working apps, no? Theoretically yes, but the Lion archives are intended to be deployed on Lion. If any of them were built to be deployed on 10.6, it was probably unintentional. vq _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
