py26-pybox2d: Swig error prevents the port from compiling.

[jb@…]

Swig syntax error causes the port to fail to compile. Slight digging around doesn't show an easily identified syntax error in the input file for swig.

Do you still see this problem with py26-pybox2d 2.0.2b2? It compiles fine for me.

[nathanielvirgo@…]

I had this problem yesterday, but it's gone away today. What I did was run

sudo port upgrade outdated and not py26-pybox2d

which ran for a few hours before I had to switch the machine off and go home. (It's been a long time since I upgraded.) Then when I came in this morning I ran

sudo port upgrade outdated

and it upgraded a bunch of stuff, including successfully updating pybox2d. So I guess there must be some kind of unaccounted-for dependency on one of the other packages that got updated on my machine yesterday? I'm not sure but I think Swig was one of the things that was upgraded, so maybe it's that?

I'll be happy to provide any extra information that might be helpful, as long as you can tell me exactly what to type - I'm not terribly au fait with how the ports system works.

I should probably close this. It's a year out of date, and several people have reported no problems with swig or compiling the port.

I've had to move on from the play project with pybox2d due to work projects piling up.
