fontconfig-2.7.3 build error on snow leopard

[imgroxx@…]

NOT a duplicate of ticket #21470, as this isn't erring on libxml2.

#21470 states that forcing libxml2 to darwin_10 variant solves, but this occurs before libxml2 is even installed (all installed ports listed below error text). I wish I could say what I think it is, but alas, cannot. I'll attempt to install libxml2, and will re-do this build with a comment to follow soon on its success/failure.

This entire process was started from a completely erased 1.8.0 MacPort install. I installed bzip2, and was in the process of installing ddd when this error occurred.

Installing "libxml2 @2.7.4_0" (via "install libxml2") allowed the build to complete without error.

As activating fontconfig takes so long without any messages, can I request a message like "updating fc-cache..." ? I won't make a ticket out of it, because it's only UI polish, unless someone thinks it's worth it.

Replying to toby@…:

#21233

Didn't find that one earlier on the search... probably because someone removed the "fontconfig" keyword. Why?

Anyway. I feel I should point out that this is not a during-config error, as this configured without apparent error, but blew up on build. Undoubtably related, but a possibly important difference (and a sign that the config is borked in 2.7.3 as well).

Well, not a visible-during-config error. My phrasing-mistake.
