glib2 build tries to use dtrace and fails

[jmeyer@…]

It appears that dtrace doesn't support -G. I am running Lion 10.7. xCode 4.1.

Error - a little more readable.

Here is the dtrace version.

dtrace: Sun D 1.6.2

What port are you trying to install that is generating this error?

The glib2 install is where it is failing. I was trying to install metasploit3 port.

Thanks

The log is incomplete. Please clean glib2 and try again and attach the complete main.log.

dtrace support was added to glib2 in the 2.25.x development series but was disabled on Mac OS X because it did not work there; I wonder why it's being enabled on your system. Hopefully the complete log will tell us.

Hmm, it looks like glib2's check for whether to use dtrace on Mac OS X is based only on whether Carbon is available. Carbon is disappearing more and more in each version of Mac OS X so that doesn't seem like the best way to test for this. Still, I wonder why the problem only affects you and not all the other MacPorts users who have upgraded to Lion and are not seeing this problem.

In r81247 I've modified glib2 (and glib2-devel) to ensure we don't try to enable dtrace. Wait 30 minutes then "sudo port selfupdate" and see if that helps.

Thanks - that worked and I am up and running. As to why it only affected me, maybe because I had upgraded my xCode tools to the latest version from the AppStore. My guess would be that after the upgrade the old version is not completely uninstalled?

Thanks for your work on this.
