Mac OS X 10.4.11 PowerPC: make fails with "Unsupported arch detected: Power Macintosh"

[barracuda156]

It is not specific to 10.4. Using uname -m is wrong, it does not return arch family, what should be used is uname -p.

make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_PPCSnowLeopardPorts_sysutils_cpufetch/cpufetch/work/cpufetch-1.05'
Makefile:51: Unsupported arch detected: Power Macintosh. See https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch#1-support
Makefile:52: If your architecture is supported but the compilation fails, please open an issue in https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch/issues
Makefile:53: *** Aborting compilation.  Stop.

I.e.,

36-231% uname -m
Power Macintosh
36-231% uname -p
powerpc

You could easily compile it by replacing the following line in the Makefile:

arch := $(shell uname -m)

with

arch := ppc

But it is pointless, since the code itself has to be fixed: it does not work as is:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /opt/local/bin/cpufetch 
Reading symbols for shared libraries ++. done

Program received signal EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION, Illegal instruction/operand.
