x264 port fails to build

[jobs.nihilator@…]

I just installed MacPorts and the "port install ffmpeg" command will not build "ffmpeg" and it returns the following error:

--->  Computing dependencies for ffmpeg
--->  Dependencies to be installed: x264
--->  Building x264
Error: org.macports.build for port x264 returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install x264

I am running MacPorts on Mac OS X 10.6.8

Please "sudo port clean x264", then try again, then attach the entire main.log file so that we can see everything that happened.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Please "sudo port clean x264", then try again, then attach the entire main.log file so that we can see everything that happened.

I did a "sudo port clean x264" and a "sudo port install ffmpeg" and it failed with the same errors. Attached is the "main.log".

What Xcode version are you using? 4.0? 4.1?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Not reproduceable with latest version of x264 on any of Mac OS X 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.3 using latest Xcode tools.

Please make sure you are using the latest version Xcode for your platform and have updated your ports to the latest version.

sudo port selfupdate
