Does using the gmake port for build.cmd help?

How can I convince port of using gmake instead of make? I can't find the string 'make' in Portfile…

I have exactly same problem as this and ticket #35186 but on OSX10.4.11. The problem was initiated by a "self update" followed by a "upgrade outdated". I have just successfully issued "install gmake". Using command line "install gobject-introspection build.cmd gmake" makes absolutely no difference.

You need to add 'build.cmd gmake" to the Portfile – which can be found by running

locate Portfile | grep gobject-introspection

(I did it on line #53, below the two other lines starting with 'build'). Then save Portfile or write it back. Now invoke 'port clean gobject-introspection' and then proceed to upgrade.

For me upgrading the atk package led to ann error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_lil.fr.rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_atk/atk/work/atk-2.2.0/atk'

Fixed in r95523.

I’m still getting the same error on Tiger with the r95523 Portfile:

It looks like /usr/bin/gnumake (version 3.80) came with Tiger. The MacPorts /opt/local/bin/gmake is version 3.82. Does gobject-introspection need to use the MacPorts gmake rather than Tiger’s gnumake?

I used MacPorts' gmake. It had to be installed first.

Came in from #35186. Already had MacPorts' gmake installed. Still had the same error, even after changing the Portfile to match r95523.

Peter, like darylew above, the MacPorts gmake was already installed on my system before trying to install gobject-introspection with r95523. My $PATH environment variable even has /opt//local/bin before /usr/bin, so I was surprised to see the Tiger gnumake being used in preference to the MacPorts gmake. Does some kind of $PATH manipulation need to be done for the macports user as well?

No. I just wrongly assumed Tiger either wouldn't have gnumake installed or it would be sufficient. I will fix this soon.
