Re: '\0' not accepted as an empty "const char *": is this a compiler problem or not?

'\0' is a single character, not a string. Note the use of signal quote marks, THIS IS IMPORTANT. It is an 8bit value equivalent to the byte 0x00, or an integer 0x. You could replace '\0' with 0x00 everywhere in your code and they would be exactly the same. "" is a string containing one byt

'\0' not accepted as an empty "const char *": is this a compiler problem or not?

Hi, When I tried porting some software (originally written for Windows and now asking for C++14) to MacPorts I was stuck with an external piece of a code written in C, compiled with C++ (I don't fully understand why it is compiled with C++, but I cannot change that). This is a minimal example tha

Re: [MacPorts] #51598: bsdmake: setrlimit: Invalid argument

Thanks, but `sudo port -v install xinit` still fails with same error when using `/opt/local/bin/bsdmake` The bsdmake port was already installed but was not being used. Path seems OK: > BingleyG5:~ bryan$ echo $PATH > /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/us

Search in packages contents

As I've discussed with raim on irc I would like to be able to search the packages' contents for a certain file. This could be done via the web or the cli once a buildbot has compiled the list maybe in the form of a sqllite database to store on the user's machine if it is not too big or otherwise to

Re: snapd

I wonder if SIP could be used by MacPorts to ensure the files in the directory match what the ports specify (and what would need to be added to Portfiles to have sufficient information to do this). Russell On 18/06/16 07:00, Mojca Miklavec wrote: MacPorts has to keep reminding software author
