gnome-python-desktop fails to build

[jmartini206@…]

I'm on Snow Leopard using Macports 1.8.1

I'm very new to osX and to Macports. I am trying to install gnome-games and I receive the following output:

jmartini_mac:Downloads admin$ sudo port variants gnome-python-desktop
gnome-python-desktop has the variants:
   darwin_9: Platform variant, selected automatically
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

This is caused by lacking dependencies in the Portfile. It should help to install py25-gnome and py26-gnome. (Sorry, I do not know which of the two really does it.) Afterwards gnome-python-desktop can be installed - but it must be *reconfigured*. (I.e. make a "port clear gnome-python-desktop".)

The problem is caused by the parameters "--register /gconf.defs", which is executed by the Makefile. (The file "/gconf.defs" does not exist.) If the python bindings for gnome are missing, the configuration fails to provide a useful path for gconf.defs.

Dependency on py26-gnome added in r72718. Thanks for the report.
