BUG: aalib-1.4rc5 patching ltmain.sh fails

[markus_kranz@…]

When trying to install gimp2, I get the following error concerning aalib:

ip102:/opt/local/var/db/dports admin$ sudo port install gimp2

I'm using Apple xcode 2.4

ip102:/opt/local/etc/ports admin$ xcodebuild -version
Component versions: DevToolsCore-757.0; DevToolsSupport-733.0

and

ip102:/opt/local/etc/ports admin$ port version
Version: 1.320

What can I do to solve the problem?

The problematic hunk of the patch is this one:

There is a stray CRLF in the source file at the end of the *-*-freebsd2* line (the rest of the file uses only LF), so the hunk doesn't match. I would guess that the patch was meant to fix this as part of its changes (since it touches that line, but doesn't actually chnge it), but got passed through a linefeed (or even just modified in a text editor) in such a way that the CR got removed.

I just removed the offending hunk, too bad for freebsd users ;-)

Sounds like this ticket should have been closed when [22729] was committed.
