Alternatively, you may set the environment variables METACITY_CFLAGS and METACITY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

The problem here is a build failure in metacity, not a dependency failure in gnome-control-center.

Replying to jmr@macports.org:
The error message makes it clear that your version of metacity is too old, which is to be expected given that you've reported having trouble building metacity 2.22.0 in #14905.
I realize that, but as I have noted in the metacity ticket comments, perhaps some other window manager could be swapped in as a dependency if metacity's build problems prove to be intractable.

Since I am having to drop to older versions to get this all working again, I am finding this issue with building gnome-control-center. Metacity 2.21.2 built and installed w/o issue, but this dependency on it is hosing things up.
---> Staging gnome-control-center into destroot Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command "cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_mports_trunk_dports_gnome_gnome-control-center/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/window-manager-settings/ && ln -s libmetacity.so libmetacity.dylib" returned error 1 Command output: ln: libmetacity.dylib: File exists Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
I have tried moving the libmetacity.dylib file aside and it get re-made each time: not sure how that works.
