Cairo Build Issue

[bownan@…]

I tried installing Cairo and the build failed.

>> port clean cairo
>> port upgrade cairo

Here is relevant part of the main.log:

Any thoughts? Thanks!

In the future, please fill in the Port field, Cc the port maintainer(s), use WikiFormatting. Also please attach the complete main.log after cleaning the port.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The "Skipping completed" lines in that log show it was not a clean attempt. Please "sudo port clean cairo", then try again, then attach the new main.log.

[bownan@…]

Sorry -- please find attached the updated main.log after a clean attempt

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The new log contains a new error:

:info:configure checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
:info:configure Check your system clock

Can you do as it says and check your system clock? Ideally use network time synchronization with a reliable source, such as time.apple.com.

[bownan@…]

Not sure what happened as the system time was synchronized. Anyway, i re-ran clean and upgrade again and have attached the latest main.log. Same issue as the initial post. Thanks for your help

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The question is why libtool is choosing to use libxcb.a. Are you perhaps missing libxcb.dylib?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In the absence of any further information from the user, I'm going to guess that whatever was wrong with the user's xorg-libxcb was specific to the user's system and that they have resolved it, and there's nothing for us to fix here.
