xpm build failure

[mohd_sm24@…]

this is the command line on my terminal:

bash-3.2$ sudo port install ddd
--->  Computing dependencies for ddd

Please "sudo port clean xpm", then try again, then attach the main.log if it fails again.

build log for xpm

I'm getting the same error, so I attached my build log.

It fails for both +universal and -universal (x86_64) builds on my 10.7.3 system. (However, if I don't use +universal, it finds a binary package, which works fine; I have to explicitly port -s build it to see the problem.)

I just tested on a few other machines. On a different 10.7.3 system, and a 10.6.8 system, xpm built fine. I don't know what the difference is, but if the log gives you any ideas what to look for, I'll be glad to look.

:info:build xgettext: A --flag argument doesn't have the <keyword>:<argnum>:[pass-]<flag> syntax: gettext:1:pass-c-format

Can you please attach the config.log

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Looks like a get text issue or an issue with the build not calling xgettext properly. I can't reproduce this, but maybe Ryan can...

Duplicate of #31167. The problem occurs if you built gettext with a developer preview version of Xcode 4.2. Please install a final released version of Xcode 4.2 or newer, then rebuild gettext:

sudo port clean gettext
sudo port -n upgrade --force gettext
