Does it still fail with 2.18.7? If yes, could you attach the ppc libtool file?

Replying to nox@…:

Yes, it still fails with the same message, please find the ppc libtool file attached. Thanks Laurent

I made a "diff" between .../gtk+-2.18.7-i386/libtool and .../gtk+-2.18.7-ppc/libtool and I found:

144c144
< global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[	 ]\\([BCDEGRST][BCDEGRST]*\\)[	 ][	 ]*_\\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\\)\$/\\1 _\\2 \\2/p'"

< global_symbol_to_cdecl="sed -n -e 's/^T .* \\(.*\\)\$/extern int \\1();/p' -e 's/^[BCDEGRST]* .* \\(.*\\)\$/extern char \\1;/p'"
---
> global_symbol_to_cdecl=""

Patching the ppc libtool to match the i386 file allows a successful build !

I hit this too after attempting a

port upgrade --enforce-variants gnome-vfs +universal

Any workaround?

Ran into this too upgrading opencv:

port upgrade gtk2 --enforce-variants +universal

Thanks for the patch! MacPorts 1.9.1 OSX 10.5.8

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #25851.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Hopefully now fixed for all ports in r70156.
