In wanting to play around some more with 64-bit macports, I've installed 1.7 trunk (rev. 34799) from SVN on my PPC G5, 10.5.1. Installation went well but when I try to use the "universal" variant (no 64-bit stuff yet!) it breaks, like so: # port -d install jpeg +universal DEBUG: Found port in file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/ rsync.macports.org/release/ports/graphics/jpeg DEBUG: Changing to port directory: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/ rsync.macports.org/release/ports/graphics/jpeg DEBUG: org.macports.load registered provides 'load', a pre-existing procedure. Target override will not be provided DEBUG: Requested variant powerpc is not provided by port jpeg. DEBUG: Requested variant darwin is not provided by port jpeg. DEBUG: Requested variant macosx is not provided by port jpeg. DEBUG: Executing variant universal provides universal DEBUG: can't read "configure.universal_cflags": can't read "configure.universal_target": no such variable while executing "eval configure.cflags-append ${configure.universal_cflags}" (procedure "variant-universal" line 13) invoked from within "variant-universal" invoked from within "catch "variant-${name}" result" Error: Error executing universal: can't read "configure.universal_cflags": can't read "configure.universal_target": no such variable DEBUG: Error evaluating variants while executing "error "Error evaluating variants"" (procedure "mportopen" line 51) invoked from within "mportopen $porturl [array get options] [array get variations]" Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants Same thing happens with any port if I set "+universal" in variants.conf. This all works fine on a different machine (PPC, G5, 10.4.11, trunk rev. 34088). Does anyone have a clue? TIA, /Emil
