dbus-glib will not upgrade

[drnamba@…]

I have problem in upgrading dbus-glib 0.80 to 0.86.

Macbook 2.16G mid2007 10.5.8

I consulted this problem in a mailing list and ​Ryan suggested as follows:

---

DEBUG: new fully merged portvariants: universal +

Ok, you're building universal.

---> Configuring dbus-glib for architecture ppc

checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)... no

---> Configuring dbus-glib for architecture i386

checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)... /usr/bin/nm -p
checking the name lister (/usr/bin/nm -p) interface... BSD nm

And when doing the ppc part, it couldn't figure out where the "nm" command is (while for the i386 part it could).

---> Building dbus-glib for architecture ppc

../libtool: eval: line 941: syntax error near unexpected token `|'

You'll probably find that on line 941 of the libtool, it uses the $NM variable between two pipes; since the $NM variable is empty here, that makes two pipes in a row, which is a syntax error.

We've seen this several times before in several other ports that use the muniversal portgroup, so we just have to apply the same fix to the dbus-glib port.

For example, this same problem was solved in the pango port in r50606. So this same fix could presumably be applied to dbus-glib. (Ignore the lines about ac_cv_header_Carbon_Carbon_h which were specific to pango.)

Defining NM in the port file works. Just test a build. Also I found gtk2 to be affected by the same issue. The patch I made for dbus-glib port file

Replying to mcl_guard-netmail@…:

59a60,62

set merger_configure_env(ppc) "NM='/usr/bin/nm -p'" set merger_configure_env(ppc64) "NM='/usr/bin/nm -p'"

65c68,71 < } else { ---

} else {

set merger_configure_env(i386) "NM='/usr/bin/nm -p'" set merger_configure_env(x86_64) "NM='/usr/bin/nm -p'"

This patch worked for me.

Now I have 0.86. Thanks.

Hopefully now fixed for all ports in r70156.
