638333 - js configure seems to fail with python27 port

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Gary Kwong [:gkw] [:nth10sd] (NOT official MoCo now)]

I'm not sure if it's just me, but nonetheless, if one has python27 package out of MacPorts installed along with python26, 

checking for Python version >= 2.5 but not 3.x... 

in js configure will fail and say that MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET should be 10.6 instead of 10.5.

I had already selected python26 or python26-apple in python_select.

I had to deactivate python27 in order to bypass this, but if this is a real problem it should be tackled before the future comes and we shift to Python 2.7 in the future.

I'm on MacPorts 1.9.2 and Mac OS X 10.6.6.
