Hi,

I have a problem installing the eog like below. I attached log files.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and make sure to add the port maintainer to CC.

See ​https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9441

So what is the solution?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The maintainer should update the port to a newer version that fixes the problem or backport ​the fix (which is to remove the erroneous argument that eog's data/meson.build file is supplying on line 25).

In 89532cbaf6f9f2e061c529e012d88b01e4243360/macports-ports (master):

eog: Fix configure failure with meson 0.60

Closes: #65205

As with #65295 this just changes the error to:

help/meson.build:6:6: ERROR: Tried to create target "help-glade-da-update-po", but a target of that name already exists.
