Stevo

I finally got my new HTC Desire after waiting an extra 4 days after release. Overall the phone is pretty awesome, with only a few small negatives. First you are unable to remove any of the preinstalled applications. Second they have removed the default home (launcher) from the system. So until I can root this thing and get the default 2.2 on it I will have to live with HTC Sense.

So I work on Songbird and apparently it doesn’t need to have the 64bit version of the libIDL in MacPorts. I was building with no problems on a recently upgraded desktop computer. I then tried to build Thunderbird and got major fail:

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libIDL-2.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib, file is not of required architecture

Thinking this was something to do with MacPorts I tried a sudo port selfupdate, this failed even worse!

dlopen(/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    while executing
"load /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded macports 1.0" script)
    invoked from within
"package require macports"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 39)

OK so what the hell, well a little Google search and I find that there is a new version for Snow Leopard, so I downloaded and tried the update again with success.

Now off to build again after the update completes…

Her we go back to blogging and creating my online pressence. Facebook, Twitter, and any other cool social sites of the day .
