if you install gtk-doc you should be good to go.

This is an issue with many ports since a recently autotools update brought this bit of happiness in with.

It will get added as a proper build dep in due course of time.

Ken I should have added more clarity - I tried installing that with Homebrew because I went into the logs to check naturally. So I tried installing (gtk-doc and gtk3+) I didnt know which was needed specifically. No dice. Maybe Homebrew installs it in a different place? What installer should I use?

Thank you!

[kencu (Ken)]

it's specifically looking for Can't exec "/opt/local/bin/gtkdocize" so the homebrew one won't fill the need.

Mixing homebrew and MacPorts is non-trivial for these kinds of reasons... you're better to choose one or the other.

Replying to jmroot: Gotcha, okay I will look into it more. I am a Win/Linux guy and I just got a Mac for a software engineering job last week. Never used Mac before.
