@leo-arch Perfect, that worked!
(We need it is small case for Apple though, __ppc__.)

This will, perhaps, be generally applicable:

P. S. Are colors like this intended? Yellow is barely readable.

[leo-arch]

Great! Thanks for testing.

As to the colors, yes, those are the default colors (4-bit). However, the default color scheme is intended to be used with dark terminals (dark background). Try just switching your color scheme: cs light (you can also try the 256 colors version of the default color scheme: cs default-256). If you still do not find them comfortable enough, every single color is customizable. Take a look at the colors section in the wiki.

Already done @barracuda156! See c9a0a10.

[leo-arch]

Good to know. Thanks for your answer @barracuda156!

10.6?! That's quite old, but it doesn't matter: we really want clifm running on everything. So, let's try to fix this.

Is your machine 32-bit?

[barracuda156]

@leo-arch Thank you for responding! Yes, I build for ppc, which is only 32-bit on 10.6. (The last OS to support ppc64 is 10.5.8.)

[leo-arch]

Ok. The thing is that st_birthtimespec is a 64-bit extension. Try this: replace line 222 in helpers.h from this:

 #elif defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__APPLE__)

to this:

 #elif defined(__NetBSD__) || (defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(__PPC__))

If your compiler supports the __PPC__ macro, we should be fine.

[barracuda156]

@leo-arch Thank you! Noted.

By the way, maybe you could add the patch above into the master? It may help someone who builds clifm directly (without Macports), and also frees us from a need to carry a local patch :)

[leo-arch]

Hey @barracuda156, what version of readline does Snow Leopard provide? The oldest version I've tried is 6.3 (2014, I think), but Snow Leopard is probably using something even older (5.2?).

[barracuda156]

@leo-arch We have the latest one, I believe. Whatever Apple had at the time does not really matter, we can always use newer versions (technically, whatever Macports offers, but usually that is either the latest or latest feasible for the OS).
However it may need to be specified in the portfile, to ensure the correct one is picked by the build.
