Thanks for the heads-up!
I've just fixed this. If you'd like, you can `rm -rf /opt/neofetch* && leopard.sh neofetch-7.1.0`
Got a tip for us?

Yes, I made sure they were in separate directories so that they wouldn't interfere with each other (macports lives in /opt/local whereas tiger.sh lives in /opt).
I'm not super familiar with the innards of macports, but I'd imagine if you really wanted to, you could run some sort of overlay of locally modified port files, and you could edit the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS being used by macports to link against libraries from tiger.sh, for example.
Please don’t
This is a recipe for a disaster.
Seriously, Macports environment is set up to be isolated from anything non-system, and it is for good reasons.
Rather take a look at this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/unofficial-macports-10-5-binary-repo.2376248/
Thank you both for quick replies, does this binary repo work with tiger even though it is 10.5?Please don’t

You have to request the owner to support Tiger. I think that was intended anyway. (No, apps won’t normally work cross-system, and that is not advised even when some do work. Also, Tiger SDK is substantially different, AFAIK.)
Good to know
it was required at one point but I think ffmpeg fixed it and I didn’t notice.
Thanks for the tip on SBCL 2.0.9, I got it building on Leopard and Tiger (using 1.0.47 as the bootstrap).
Maybe you could add R packages to your manager? See: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/r-ecosystem-for-macos-ppc.2381282
I maintain everything, so if you or anyone got inquiries or wish to add something extra, please ask.
For R itself you may want to add my fixes from Macports, if you get malloc errors in R. Easy to check: loading Rcpp-related packages, ggplo2 or rstan usually triggers them.
(If you wanna have R GUI app working correctly, borrow from my PR in Macports repo. But X11 in R works fine.)
Could you say, how do I get permission to post into a Google group? I found a relevant discussion: https://groups.google.com/u/2/g/sbcl-devel/c/u9SKIhEEtBM
I makes sense to join in, but replying is inactive, despite joining the group itself.
Don't you just send an email to `sbcl-...@lists.sourceforge.net` (not sure what the elipsis is supposed to be, I guess if you dig around on sourceforge you could find that). Google Groups is just a mirror of the underlying mailing list.
Well, sourceforge topic is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/sbcl/mailman/message/37793468
But no option to reply to it either.
Just mailing to the list gonna work, I reckon, but it will be a separate topic.
I can add it to my todo list! Unfortunately free time has become hard to come by in the past few weeks.
Perhaps only heavy and patched ones make sense to add. Anything that is noarch in portfile (no compilation on CRAN) is trivial and can be installed directly. Some packages are broken however and will fail without patching. Few are compilation-heavy and may take forever on a slow G4.
In the meanwhile, Macports has now SBCL 2.2.2 for PowerPC, and I have also made 2.2.5 build: https://github.com/barracuda156/macports-ports/tree/sbcl
Since there is no clear performance gain with 2.2.5, we will perhaps stay on 2.2.2 for PPC for the time-being. But testing is welcomed.
Well, we have been working on SBCL for past several days pretty non-stop. Macports now at 2.2.5 for PPC, and we have 2.3.4 building. Work in progress on fixing 2.3.5 (the current release).
SBCL 2.3.5 with threads/fancy is fixed for PowerPC with this PR: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/19059
Now installable via Macports normally.
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to @cellularmitosis for maintaining this great project - I updated my G3 iBook and iMac today to enable Youtube again - installing Python and MPlayer with tiger.sh was a breeze!
I mean, is there any failure happening if you try building Qt3/Qt4 on Tiger?
What you get with sudo port install qt4-mac?
Qt 5 is out of question IIRC? Got it to build a couple of years ago, but programs would freeze on startup
Do you have a repo to try it out?
AFAIK, later Qt5 will be close-to-impossible to fix due to reliance on newer SDK features, but earlier ones should be doable.
