This build failure is usually symptomatic of a missing build dependency on port yelp-tools. However, the latest version of zenity does declare this dependency and I can't reproduce the problem here.

$ port deps zenity
Full Name: zenity @3.8.0_0
Extract Dependencies: xz
Build Dependencies:   pkgconfig, gnome-common, yelp-tools, intltool, itstool, autoconf, automake, libtool
Library Dependencies: gtk3, libnotify, webkit-gtk3-2.0

$ port installed yelp-tools
The following ports are currently installed:
  yelp-tools @3.10.0_0 (active)

An update for this port was just committed a day or so ago. Please make sure your ports tree is updated and try a clean build. If problems remain send me a copy of the build log from this clean build and go to the build directory and see what is on line 466 of help/Makefile.

cd `port work zenity`
vi help/Makefile

Thanks

I updated the tree and made sure that yelp-tools and all dependencies were downloaded. Still had the same problem.

line 466 of help/Makefile

@YELP_HELP_RULES@

Attached the log

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Again your build log only shows the build phase not fetch, configure, etc. so you are probably not cleaning the port before the rebuild. I'm interested in the configure results.

Please do this

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean zenity
sudo port install zenity

Your installation of yelp-tools seems suspect. YELP_HELP_RULES is an m4 macro provided by yelp-tools here:

/opt/local/share/aclocal/yelp.m4

The fact that it is in the Makefile shows that the macro wasn't available at configuration time for expansion and so the name was just entered literally into the Makefile instead.

Sorry to waste your time. The only difference this time that I could see from the last time is:

sudo /opt/local/bin/port -v install zenity

This time I ran simply

sudo port install zenity

No problem. Glad it's working for you now.
