Lincity-ng fails to build and install on Mac OS X 10.5.1

[johnmusbach1@…]

1) When installing lincity-ng it does not properly satisfy the libxml2 dependency which must be done with macports before installing lincity-ng, this should be fixed

2) After that dependency is met lincity-ng still fails to build and install with the following error:

bash-3.2$ sudo port install lincity-ng
--->  Configuring lincity-ng

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command "cd

I have tried contacting the developer of lincity-ng about this error but he is unsure of the proper resolution:  https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/lincity-ng-devel/2007-December/000404.html . Although I also encounter the same error when building directly from the 1.1.2 tarball I would think that there is something both me and macports is overlooking and not properly satisfying when attempting to install this game... Hope you can fix this so that the game can be properly installed on Mac OS X 10.5.1, thanks!

I just found out about the following wiki page which may be of help fixing macports so that it properly installs this game:  http://lincity-ng.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/How_to_build_Lincity-NG_on_a_Mac

Assigning to maintainer.

Please retry after r37605. There is not much I can do without a 10.5 box, though.

[jmr@…]

It failed to find physfs.h for me on 10.5, which I fixed in r37609. After that, destroot didn't work the first time but did work on the second try. (I'm using trunk, so I thought that bug was meant to be fixed?) Anyway, lincity-ng seems to work fine on Leopard now.
