glibmm fails to build during install of Gobby

[thewoolleyman@…]

I found this bug (#18999), but that isn't my problem. My /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf and /usr/local/etc/macports/variants.conf are empty.

Attached is a file output from running the suggested commands from that ticket:

Attaching another file with the (truncated, just the error) output from a failed gobby install on a different machine...

Your first error:

DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_glibmm/work/glibmm-2.20.0" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local'
sh: line 0: cd: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_glibmm/work/glibmm-2.20.0: No such file or directory
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_glibmm/work/glibmm-2.20.0" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local " returned error 1
Command output: sh: line 0: cd: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_glibmm/work/glibmm-2.20.0: No such file or directory

appears to be an issue with glibmm; I'm not sure why it can't find that directory which should exist upon extracting. Try a sudo port clean --work glibmm and then try your initial install of gobby again.

The second error sounds like a missing dependency, but there isn't enough information to go on to determine which port is having the issue there; full debug output would be needed. However, if it isn't glibmm, please open a new ticket for that.

First of all, the fact that you have macports files in /usr/local is suspicious. MacPorts doesn't install anything there by default and installing files manually in /usr/local (not using MacPorts usually causes problems.

To test if this is causing problems, just temporarily move /usr/local to /usr/local.bak and try building glibmm again.

sudo port clean glibmm
sudo port -d build glibmm

I have opened a new ticket for the second error, with the full debug output attached:  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20183

sudo port clean --work glibmm worked for me. After that, gobby installed and ran fine. I also renamed /usr/local/etc to /usr/local/etc.bak. Thanks for the help!
