Pango upgrade fails to find X11

[pony777@…]

I'm trying to upgrade Pango to version 1.24.2. The build fails. It appears to be having trouble finding X11. The tail end of the log file is:

Clean the port and then try it without +macosx

sudo port clean pango
sudo port upgrade pango

macosx is a platform variant which is supplied automatically by MacPorts if it is appropriate. Don't use it on the command line.

Tried that. Got the same error. I think this may have something to do with the switchover to having MacPorts provide the X11 libraries. Is there a straightforward explanation of that somewhere? I have a bunch of ports in which the system_x11 variant is selected. That variant seems to have disappeared and I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to have x11 stuff set up.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

That's probably the problem then. I would uninstall at a minimum all of the ports that have +system_x11 selected then clean pango again and try the upgrade. Better but more of a pain would be to uninstall everything and start over again. Make sure you're not setting +system_x11 in ${prefix}/etc/macports/variants.conf by the way or it will just override what you're doing.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Setting +system_x11 anywhere will not do anything now that no ports have that variant...

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Yes, but he needs to get rid of his existing port that were built with this variant and rebuild them to get things to work properly. My comment about the variants.conf doesn't make any difference now but might be good to remove any mention of +system_x11 there for cleanliness.
