BUG: control-center fails to build

[rhwood@…]

On Mac OS X 10.4.2, control-center fails to build. The error in question is a syntax problem with /opt/local/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h . Particullarly vexing about the error is that 21 other ports depend on this port and they all built without problems.

sudo port clean --all control-center ; sudo port install control-center DID NOT solve the issue.

Output follows:

--->  Building control-center with target all
Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_gnome_control-center/work/control-center-2.10.0" && make all" returned error 2

Patched portfile

[rhwood@…]

Control-center 2.12 has a dependency on /opt/local/bin/desktop-file-install which is part of the desktop-file-utils port.

Some install weirdness:

It almost seems gconf is broken. Looks like gconftool-2 chokes on some unicode characters.

Here's patch for the patched ;-) portfile so that it required desktop-file-utils:

Sometimes just building this port twice gets it installed completely, although some preference panels are then broken in GNOME and the theme(s) get broken. Things work, but look ugly.

[rhwood@…]

Patches commited. Thanks!

[rhwood@…]

Submitted new Portfile for control-center 2.12.1 into CVS. Control-center 2.21.1 builds w/o complaint (for me) on Mac OS X 10.4.2.

[msiniscalchi@…]

Sorry to bother everybody...

I am still getting the "internal error" upon installing control-center.

I am running OSX 10.4.3 with XCode 2.0 (gcc 4.0.0). I did a port sync; port upgrade, and I believe the most recent Portinfo file is being used, because port info control-center yields:

control-center 2.12.1, gnome/control-center (Variants: darwin)
http://www.gnome.org/

{Control center for GNOME 2.0 project.}

Library Dependencies: nautilus, desktop-file-utils, libxklavier
Platforms: darwin
Maintainers: gnome-darwinports@opendarwin.org rhwood@opendarwin.org

Note the 2.12.1 version for control-center, and the explicit dependency on libxklavier which was added in CVS on 12/6.

Any ideas?
