dbus-glib @0.110: Make build command failed

[ChrisBushman (Christopher Bushman)]

While attempting to install a port (Pidgin), I ran into dbus-glib as a dependency. The following is the error information I receive in dbus-glib's main.log:

between attempts to build, you always need to clean up the previous build, like so:

sudo port clean dbus-glib

can you please give me the output of

port -v installed | grep gcc
port -v installed | grep cctools
port -v installed | grep ld64

Thanks.

[kencu (Ken)]

Looks like it does install on Tiger:

$ port -v installed dbus-glib
The following ports are currently installed:
  dbus-glib @0.108_0 platform='darwin 8' archs='ppc' date='2017-04-01T20:28:15-0700'
  dbus-glib @0.110_0 (active) platform='darwin 8' archs='ppc' date='2018-04-14T12:19:08-0700'

[ChrisBushman (Christopher Bushman)]

It appears I did not have cctools set up on my system. After installing cctools and verifying gcc and ld64 were setup, the installation executed successfully. Thank you for the help kencu.

[kencu (Ken)]

that's great! Not 100% sure how our nets let you not have cctools installed, but I guess there are always a few cracks in the armour...
