py27-spatialite 3.0.1_1: Build failure

[FrankOrtmann (Frank Ortmann)]

py27-spatialite 3.0.1_1 fails when attempting to port install on macOS Sierra (Xcode v8.0). Makes QGIS impossible to install.

It looks like the homepage is broken too. I'm Cc'ing the maintainer of QGIS for possible comment.

Homepage fixed in r153603.

The buildbot workers had the same trouble:

Digging deeper, I get this:

 File "setup.py", line 177, in build_extension
    self.check_lib(ext,"pj_init_plus", "proj", "'libproj' is required but it doesn't seem to be installed on this system.",["m"])
  File "setup.py", line 161, in check_lib
    raise LibraryNotFoundException("cannot find function '%s' in '%s': %s" % (func,lib,msg))
__main__.LibraryNotFoundException: cannot find function 'pj_init_plus' in 'proj': 'libproj' is required but it doesn't seem to be installed on this system.

Is this still a problem for you? If installs fine for me on El Capitan. This appears to be a proj related error. What version of proj do you have installed?

$ port installed proj*
The following ports are currently installed:
  proj @4.9.3_0 (active)

Looks like the problem was resolved. I am now able to install py_spatialite and QGIS.
