groff missing dependencies

[gauravk92@…]

groff@1.20.1 is giving build errors on 10.6.3, i figured it out though, thought I would report it.

The command was

sudo port install groff

SOLUTION: As referenced here ​http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22566#comment:4

Installing texinfo will in fact work (at least in this case)

I posted the debug log separately because its a different issue then the one I'm linking too.

I didn't include all of the debug text but the last bit is included below

I can't reproduce this problem. groff builds fine for me on Snow Leopard, even if texinfo is not installed. The few lines of output you supplied don't show seem to show what error occurred. If you are able to reproduce the error still, please clean groff and build again, with the debug switch from the beginning, and attach the full output here so we might get a better idea of what's going on.

[gauravk92@…]

I doubt I'll be able to at this point, but worth noting that installing texinfo did fix it for some reason. Hopefully that helps out someone else and they can post their full report here.

[gauravk92@…]

I was able to get the same kind of error while installing fish, it error'd on groff

I then installed texinfo, and afterwards ran the same command as before and it didn't error this time and completed

Here's a debug log of the full history

you can search "gauravk92$" to find the commands entered

​http://pastebin.org/316061 - This is the first command that failed and at the end install of texinfo ​http://cl.ly/07c771c4956fdd792575 - This is the entire Terminal output (1.7mb) with a working install of fish that was debug, but could be helpful to see differences after texinfo is installed

Also this was on a clean install of Snow Leopard/MacPorts (10.6.3)

Seems to have been fixed by r78081.
