BUG: gtk2 2.6.0

[opendarwin.nospam@…]

Symptoms:

gnome-session unable to load or display some images:

(gnome-session:3911): WARNING : Failed to load image from '/Library/DarwinPorts/opt/local/ share/pixmaps/splash/gnome-splash.png': Unable to load image-loading module: /Library/ DarwinPorts/Library/DarwinPorts/opt/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: dlcompat: file "/Library/DarwinPorts/Library/DarwinPorts/opt/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/ libpixbufloader-png.so" not found

Diagnostics:

/Library/DarwinPorts/Library/DarwinPorts/opt/local/ is wrong, it should be /Library/DarwinPorts/opt/ local/ actually.

In post-configure you adjust the prefix path in gdk-pixbuf.loaders by applying a reinplace command to the original file at path ${portpath}/${filesdir}. This is a bad idea IMHO. I run into trouble when upgrading the gtk2 port from version 2.4 to 2.6 recently.

As gdk-pixbuf.loaders was locally modified, it was not touched by cvs when I updated my dports tree. So, the reinplace was in fact applied a second time to the same file which screws up the formerly correct set path. In case that I would install another update for the port, the reinplace would be applied a third time and so on.

Solution:

Don't modify the original gdk-pixbuf.loaders file at ${portpath}/${filesdir} in post-configure, apply the reinplace command to the copy at ${destroot}${prefix} during stage post-destroot instead.

Committed a fix, reopen if it still doesn't work.

patch for portfile

[toby@…]

Good point. The file should be dumped into the destroot and changed there.

asuming that this is fixed, as gtk2 is at version 2.6.2 already - reopen if still valid!
