Description

Although the library libgl2ps.1.4.2.dylib seems to compile successfully the build/install bombs out because a test(?) PDF creation fails. Logs attached. Excerpt from main.log:

Same error here with MacPorts 2.6.99 under Big Sur 11.1 with Xcode CLT 12.4.

Unfortunately, the build error for gl2ps is preventing installation of octave, one of the main apps I'm trying to install via MacPorts.

I only see this problem when building gl2ps with the +docs variant, so you could avoid it by not enabling (or by explicitly disabling) that variant for this port.

According to this, pdftexcmds was moved out of the monolithic oberdiek bundle (which apparently is part of what we install in our texlive-latex port) into its own pdftexcmds package (which apparently is part of what we install in our texlive-latex-recommended port). It also seems to need files provided by a few other tex ports, but then it builds fine for me. Presumably all of those files used to be part of the texlive-latex port.
