Problems with macports and patch on OSX 10.6.8 -

well. thumbs down, 2 thumbs downwards , middle fingers up, on package.

i can't seem install tool. problems inevitably arise when macports gets stage tries apply patches. croaks because apparently /usr/bin/patch has security patch prevents patching upwards in directory tree. typical error message:

:info:patch /usr/bin/patch: ** rejecting file name ".." component: ../libunwind/include/libunwind.h

i see various bug reports on issue such https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29871 , https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29813, no real solutions.

is there flippin' patch patch?

i not utilize macports (so cannot test possible solution), perhaps seek installing gnu version of patch. there indeed portfile within macports. installs gpatch, create symbolic link such /opt/bin/patch -> /opt/bin/gpatch. additionally, need ensure /opt/bin appears before /usr/bin in path.

although portfile requires patch applied, fortunately not utilize .. path components.

it appears though security patch originated in feb of 2011. 2.6.1 predates this, believe method should work.

osx macports
