gobject-introspection-1.32.1_3 doesn't build on PPC Tiger because of missing Makefile rule: 2833: *** Need to define GLib_2_0_gir_LIBS or GLib_2_0_gir_PROGRAM

Hello!

This defect is similar to the one reported in #32358. Although port does not show this one as being upgraded it starts to build it.

make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_lil.fr.rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gobject-introspection/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-1.32.1'
Makefile:2833: *** Need to define GLib_2_0_gir_LIBS or GLib_2_0_gir_PROGRAM.  Stop.

Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_lil.fr.rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gobject-introspection/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-1.32.1" && /usr/bin/make -w all CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 V=1 
Exit code: 2

It's pretty bad that so many packages now seem to depend on that one…

Let's track this in #32358 since it is essentially the same problem. Can you try the suggestion in #32358 and see if that helps?

How can I convince port to use gmake and not make?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Make sure the gmake port is installed and add build.cmd gmake to the Portfile.

After cleaning gobject-introspection I edited the Portfile and added build.cmd gmake as line #53 and simply invoked 'port upgrade outdated' – and it finished successfully! To build gobject-introspection… because when it tried to upgrade atk this error came up:
