Installs wrapper headers and library functions that add common functions missing in various older OSX releases to bring them approximately up to current expected standards.
Three different libraries are provided
- libMacportsLegacySupport.a - A static library with the missing functions for the given OS.
- libMacportsLegacySupport.dylib - A dynamic library with the missing functions for the given OS.
- libMacportsLegacySystem.B.dylib - Similar to libMacportsLegacySupport.dylib but in addition re-exports the symbols from libSystem.B.dylib.
To use this library within MacPorts
add the legacysupport PortGroup to the Portfile. This will add the
required include paths and libraries to allow the library to do it's
magic with most build systems.
