Please close the ticket.

I was able to get around the "Git clone failed" error by disabling my secure proxy. For some reason Macports has problems with proxies when it tries to perform a git clone.

It would be good to find a proper way to deal with this issue. I suspect the issue is that the https_proxy environment variable is not being passed to the build script - though I'm not sure why this would be. I've configured sudo to pass the proxy variables and most builds work fine - just not aom which does this extra git clone in its configure script.

After poking in the macports code - it appears to expect the variable HTTPS_PROXY rather than https_proxy. Setting that and adding that to the sudo keep env settings seems to have resolved the issue for me.

I'm not sure if this should be a new ticket then against the 'git' port ... or base if it also happens with the system git...

Sorry for raising this old ticket, but how do I even disable my secure proxy? I'm a complete noob and have no idea how to do it. I have the same problem and can't install Zenity because of it.
