gnome-dictionary @3.26.1: ERROR: Function does not take positional arguments

[jettero-jet]

Hello to all,

I have a problem installing Gnome from Macports.

Once it lists the dependencies, I validate the command with "yes".

And once it installs the packages, I get this:

--->  Fetching archive for gnome-dictionary

Error: Follow guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.
Error: Processing of port gnome failed

I couldn't find a solution on google with some of these keywords.

Have you ever encountered this situation?

Thank you, Jet

The relevant error appears to be

data/meson.build:1:5: ERROR: Function does not take positional arguments.

It looks like the meson.build file needs to be updated for compatibility with the current version of meson.

[jettero-jet]

Thank you for seeing this. Well, I've been looking to update this file but I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any advice on how to do this?
