Unable to build xorg-libx11 on Tiger

[this.brack@…]

I have G4 PPC with os x 10.4.11, xcode 2.5, x11 installed during installation of os, latest version of macports 1.8.1. Here is what I get whenever I try to build xorg-libx11 (i tried to install geany, but even building library alone gives the same message):

Building xorg-libX11

any ideas?

can you do:

port clean xorg-lib

then add this line to the Portfile:

build.args-append V=1

then do:

sudo port -v install xorg-libX11

report the entire log.

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

can you do:

port clean xorg-lib

then add this line to the Portfile:

build.args-append V=1

then do:

sudo port -v install xorg-libX11

report the entire log.

Is it some type of magic? It had no problem, and libx11 has installed just fine. Building process has taken about three hours though, but I guess it's normal for 1Ghz PPC adding all dependencies there.

The thing is I did clean beforeand tried to install without success, I didnt try build.args-append V=1 and -v install though but how could this have any influence on success of the building?

This time I also installed Gimp as separate bundle and when it started it used X11 could that be a reason the things started to work?

Yet another question: If I have this problem again with any other package how would I copy all log with -v , it is too large to send here, I mean it is three hours of non-stop lines of code responses?

No, it's no magic. the V=1 just turns on verbose build messages, so I can see what's going on.

The -v option to port just makes it verbose as well.
