gnome-mime-data: build failure due to empty $GMSGFMT

[reid@…]

I'm filing two ports because they seem to be the same issue. Or at least the same error comes up.

gnome-mime-data:

Forgot to say I'm on OS 10.6.8 using Xcode 3.2.6.

[reid@…]

Same error on:

• gst-ffmpeg
• gst-plugins-gl
• gst-plugins-good
• gst-plugins-base
• gst-plugins-ugly

[reid@…]

Brain fart. The gst-* all have gst-plugins-base as depends which has gnome-mime-data as a dep. Sorry.

[reid@…]

The problem was that msgfmt wasn't found. So, I added

use_autoreconf  yes

in the Portfiles which made things install. I'm not sure if that is the proper way to do it, but it worked.

Please use WikiFormatting so your posts are legible.

There is no need to repeat the port names in the Keywords field, nor do you need to Cc yourself when you reported the ticket. Please do however Cc the maintainer of the affected ports.

msgformat is a part of gettext. gnome-mime-data of course already has a dependency on gettext so I'm not sure what happened. Can you undo your change, clean, try again, and attach the main.log from the failed build?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

This was the only ticket closets to what I'm experiencing. I've attached my log file; I would appreciate any help. I cannot get gnome-mime-data to build in MacPorts.

I can't reproduce. It might help to see the config.log from an affected user.

Seems to only happen when using a non-default build_arch for whatever reason. r98793
