Modified portfile for gtkmm

[maurice@…]

Fix appears to work for me too and corrects my inkscape compilation problem

Assign to maintainer.

the problem as said is not (In reply to comment #2)

Created an attachment (id=6124) [edit] Modified portfile for gtkmm

The error in the build appears to be caused by an incompletely escaped reference to libsigc++2 in the glibmm portfile. (The ++ sequence is not escaped, causing Darwinports to die when it attempts to parse the dependency name.) I've uploaded a modified portfile which seems to fix this problem on my system. Note that I have done no other testing of this file.

As you say: the problem is with glibmm - why do you modify gtkmm ? There is no problems in HEAD btw.

I get this problem when upgrading libsigc++2....

problem fixed - with the move of portname++ to portnamexx
