Well, everyone who said this should work was absolutely right. When I set up a clean system, with the latest Xcode 3.x, and performed the procedure described in my first message, I successfully built a portable version of current svn. I am about to try it with my patched version, but it should …

Free is all I can afford to pay, so that settles that question - I'll go for 3.x.

Will try a fresh install of OS X, Macports, and Xcode on that borrowed machine later on. If you have any thoughts on whether I should use the latest Xcode or the previous one (which is presumably still available somewhere), I'd be grateful. Otherwise, I'll just go ahead with the latest one. Thank …

in terminal, when you type libng-config, what's the output? ... I fear you borked your system somehow. Current SVN does compile fine for me. When I enter "libpng-config" in the terminal, I simply get a "Usage..." message and a list of options. If it matters, when I type libpng-config --version it …

OK, using a completely fresh download of the current SVN, I've done this: export CFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include -O2 -arch i386' export CPPFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS export CXXFLAGS='-O2 -mdynamic-no-pic -arch i386' export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.6' export CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch i386' export F90FLAGS='- …

Thank you for narrowing that down. I wonder if the problem could be that the compiler is looking at the wrong libpng.

And btw, dosbox might compile and run without the flags being set. The dynamic core has been fixed on 64bit, quite a bit slower but if you don't need to run something that fast... Speed is fairly important, because this will be used to run WordPerfect 6.x in its graphic mode, which is painfully …

Thank you for any help. Xcode says it's version 3.2.6 (1761). I updated it two months ago from 3.2.5. And the full output from the terminal, with the command entered by hand, is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/271144/fullcommandoutput.txt Thank you again!

Weird! I haven't even seen Lion, and it never got near my disk. But you're right about xcode, I think - I'm fairly certain I did update it. I did try the portable build on clean SVN - same result. So it may be that xcode is at fault. I don't think I know how to revert it if that's what I need to do …

Make clean is one of the commands in the script I posted in the first message. It runs immediately after the EXPORT lines, and just before .autogen.sh.
