After using all yout terminal prompts, far2l +gui fails again, see log.
xcodebuild -version reads:
code 3.2Component versions: DevToolsCore-1534.0; DevToolsSupport-1528.0
BuildVersion: 10A190

puhhh, 1-2 years ago i used to edit the conf files. i'm again lost here. do i have to manually edit the files and where exactly? or just a port -v sync? thanks for all the compilation worK!
post sync will do lol
P. S. A quick way to pick a single port from GitHub repo, with a example of xld (assuming you installed `sip` port):
Code:
sip https://github.com/macos-powerpc/powerpc-ports/tree/main/audio/xldThen you can just throw it into a local overlay or even replace it directly within existing ports. This shows where the currently used port is located:
Code:
port file xld
That’s why. Do not use a mismatching Xcode version. Like this you have one set of headers and libs in `/` and another in `/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/`, which are incompatible. Then something builds with correct ones, something else uses sdkroot, where you got wrong headers. And while 10.6.8 has that symbol, 10a190 did not.

after deleting the whole macports install and installing Xcode 3.2.6 the port -v -N build worked, hen I installed the far +gui port. am I correct that far2l needs x11 and automatically starts in bash/iterm2 with x11?
xld installed, qmplay2, mpg (is there a gui?), abiword etc.
gcc14 installed.
when installing Cyberduck (last version: 4.3.1) it is complaining about missing java. I tried java 6/7 from joybed`s installer and yours from macports openjdk8. is there a chance to start Cyberduck with the right sdk and which one exactly?
regarding nautilus:

Make sure you also install other components as described in https://macos-powerpc.org/installation.html
(No need to re-install the whole thing again, if these were not installed, just add w/e missing.)
If X server is available, supposed to do. (Notice, it is not an automatic dependency of the port.)
Last time I tried, -devel version worked with YT, while non-devel did not. Just keep in mind if you get an issue.
I dunno what you mean, there is no mpg port.
Installing from where? MacPorts tried to make duck build from source and failed. Does it use Java for GUI or not? If yes, that’s a no-go.
If you use some archaic version of duck and Java is used for non-GUI stuff, you will need to hack it a) not to use Java system framework and b) make it use everything in the new Java path (via environment variables or patching the code).
Ok, I will try locally. Did the previous version launch normally?
Notes exist for a reason 😉
Code:
% port notes parabolic
---> parabolic has the following notes:
If you get an error upon launching the app, try setting GSK_RENDERER=cairo in
the environment. Legacy macOS versions may also need
LIBGL_ALLOW_SOFTWARE=true. These can be set on a command line or via a shell config file.saxfun

will try to install qmplay2-devel.
mpg means MPV. what about a guy for MPV?
cyberduck is an client which needs java, https://cyberduck.io/
I saw that the port duck exists, but if I understand you correctly cyberport is a no-go cause it will need java? I do not know if it uses java for the GUI.
I WILL read the notes on ports in the future. I'll try to write the line into my .profile
nautilus didn't start in past. I forgot the error. maybe it is fixable, I hope so. thx.
You may try celluloid or smplayer.
Java may be used for different things. I do not see much point in resurrecting some pre-historic version of cyberduck, tbh. Given that MacPorts could not make it work on modern macOS with current version of cyberduck, the code is pretty bad, I guess.
Doesn’t FileZilla address your needs?
Okay, it is another dumb thing in gnome: turns out, nautilus requires an extra dependency at runtime but does not check if it is available.
P. S. I will try adding a port for tracker3-miners now.
Last edited:
Looks like it needs tracker(3)-miners. There is no port for it at the moment: https://repology.org/project/tracker-miners
Upd. Wait, how did you even do that??
gnome-online-miners depends on gnome-online-accounts, which depends on webkit2gtk, which is broken on powerpc.
I looked into building GOA without webkit, but I recall the conclusion was that it is either too painful or makes no practical sense. Though, admittedly, Gnome in general receives little attention (whether by upstream MacPorts or by me). Largely everything Gnome is out-of-date to a varying extent.
Upd. @saxfun I have fixed nautilus, I guess. Launches on Catalina now, I just need to ensure everything builds on ppc as well.

nautilus compiled successfully! on 10.6.8 on my A1138 I cannot see any network share on my servers. if I type smb://192.168.178.xxx the font becomes red and nothing happens. is nautilus compiled with gvfs or it the missing network capabilities of 10.6.8 PPC?
Upd.: installed gvfs from your repo, but does not change anything.
(i have 127.0.0.1 in my DNS, it was there after installing, if I remove it, no connection to the internet is possible. I too have a server as DNS in my DNS settings but this seems not necessary. is DNS broken in 10.6.8 cause you fiddled around with UTdns before . . .)
there seems to be a GUI for gvfs or better the modern version of it, called GIO. And the GUI is called GIGOLO. but is isn't available through your repo.

Local networking does have issues on 10.6.8, and likely non-system tools should be used to make it work.
You need to check documentation, I don’t know how that should be used. Notice, there is also gnome-vfs port.
DNS works fine in A5. utdns was used with earlier images.
gigolo is a part of xfce4, I think. There was a port for it, though I never tried using it.
gio is a component of glib2 port, but you seem to refer to something different.

I spy a kirara enjoyer...
Also mpv was attempted to be built in https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...invitation-to-cooperate.2363509/post-32819769 no? Idk if it ever worked though.

@saxfun I wanted to say that there is also Thunar file manager, but sure enough, it cannot browse network, even on Linux (LOL).

I know Thunar from Debian.
i have to admit that none of this solutions worked until yet to browse my local network an connect to my Catalina server - gio, nautilus, gigolo, finder, smb tools.
maybe I'm heading over to the development thread of Snow Leopard with decent screenshots.
ssh works normally, so you should be able to connect via FileZilla, I guess.
netatalk is supposed to work, but we need to figure out how to configure it.
P. S. For some reason I cannot enable File sharing on Catalina is settings now. It just does not allow to click the check-mark.
Upd. This enabled at least smb on Catalina:
Code:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plistUpd2. Screen-sharing works fine both ways. System smb/afp appears broken (as expected).
