Failing to build py2app apps due to macholib error

[dmitrykichenko@…]

Building apps with py2app fails on Snow Leopard with MacPorts' python26 and both py26-py2app and py26-py2app-devel (and the latest SVN checkout too). The problem appears to be with macholib.

I have tried compiling all ports with a +universal flag. Everything compiles without issue, except for when compiling a universal build where apr fails to build as a 64-bit binary but everything else builds just fine. The issue crops up with my own apps as well as a dummy app and a one-line setup.py.

Here is the traceback for when attempting to build an app:

Looks like an upstream issue to me.

Does py26-py2app 0.4.2 with py26-macholib 1.2.1 work correctly?
