Not likely.

Because the software doesn't work properly I am unable to build useable software and am now waiting for someone to create 0.7.3 that works.



What makes you feel entitled to useable software when all you have to contribute seems to be whining and the complete unwillingness to rectify the situation via filing a bug report? Why in the world would you expect any one to go out of their way to lend you a hand when you are so blatantly opposed to doing so in return?

If you expect participation and assistance from me then I expect the same in return, when someone is willing to examine the problem and look at finding a solution I'd bend over backwards in whatever manner I could.


Asking me to jump through hoops in the hopes that someone may consider looking into the problem six months down the road has no appeal, that is wasted effort and time.

My problem exists now, a solution is needed as quickly as possible, if someone doesn't see the seriousness of this problem then it doesn't say much about their intelligence.

Thinking this was a related issue on one machine running Server 10.3.9 I moved to another Server 10.3.9 machine and experienced the same problem.

OK so I'm thinking I have two machines and think it must just be OS version related so I move to a machine with Server 10.4.2 and try the same thing, darwinbuild builds without complaining however it complains about /dev/null and fails to do anything so on to the next machine, another Server 10.4.2, this time it builds darwinbuild, allows me to build 8C46 and 8F46 projects but when I try the 7W98 projects it builds the projects but gives the original problem of the invalid path when installing perl modules.

To me this is a serious problem but hey, consider it what you want, I don't need darwinbuild, I was under the impression that it was a usefull tool but so far, it's quality sucks and no, this doesn't mean that kevin is a bad programmer, it just means that there is a flaw in the darwinbuild method that needs attention.

Meanwhile, I'll hack the system and build it without darwinbuild until it gets fixed.
