glib2 build error on PowerPC Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

[mac.telia.net@…]

I have the recent version of both Leopard and Macports (1.600 / svn rev: 30518).

When I tried to build glib2, macports gave me this:

How can I solve this problem? (I saw that build glib2 on Leopard is possible:  http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12995 - Here the glib2 build is successfully completed.) Thanks!

[ryandesign@…]

This was  reported on the mailing list last month, and there's a patch included. Can you check if that fixes the problem for you?

[sbplrports@…]

glib2 doesnt build on my G5 PPC Quad. It builds fine for me on a MacBook Pro i386. Both running Leopard.

[ryandesign@…]

mac.telia.net: are you on Intel or PowerPC?

sbplrports: is this with or without the aforementioned patch?

[sbplrports@…]

That is without. Have the files. Not quite sure how to patch it....yet. Sorry. I am not running svn build though either. 1.5.2 base.

[mac.telia.net@…]

I'm on PPC (powerbook g4 1.67). Trying the patch now..

[mac.telia.net@…]

Patch applied, everything is working well, build OK.

(for the record: I read that mail list before, but I don't realize that patch... my bad! :)

Thank you guys very much!

[ryandesign@…]

Thank you for confirming the fix. I have opened  bug 491990 with the developers of glib and provided them with the patch. Before committing the change to MacPorts, I'd like to wait for a response from them to make sure this is a reasonable fix for the issue.

[ryandesign@…]

sbplrports: If you'd like to try the patch, you can download the file I'm about to attach to this ticket to your Desktop and open the Terminal and type this:

cd `port dir glib2`
patch -p0 < ~/Desktop/glib2.diff
sudo port install glib2

[ryandesign@…]

potential fix, thanks to David DeHaven

[sbplrports@…]

worked a charm. thanks much.

[ryandesign@…]

Has duplicate #12120.

[ryandesign@…]

rhwood committed the fix in r30578.

Meanwhile the gnome/glib folks have pointed to me their  bug 445362 which has a different analysis of the problem.

[ryandesign@…]

Updated to glib 2.14.4 in r31556 which already includes a different fix for this issue, making our local patch unnecessary.
