#24967: gnome-terminal fails to install -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: wailupe2000@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: gnome-terminal -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by as.lipton@…): Replying to [comment:5 ratogi@…]:
I happened to have handy another system where I hadn't recently updated MacPorts, so it still had the Portfile for gtk2 2.18.8. With that, I was able to do the following workaround:
1. Deactivate (not deinstall) currently active gtk2 @2.20.1_0+x11 port[[BR]] 2. Move the 2.20.1 Portfile out of the way (in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/x11/gtk2) and replace it with the 2.18.8 Portfile.[[BR]] 3. port install gtk2 (which will install and activate 2.18.8).[[BR]] 4. gnome-terminal should now successfully build and install.[[BR]] 5. Deactivate gtk2 @2.18.8_0+x11 and reactivate gtk2 @2.20.1_0+x11.
This seems to have worked fine for me; I haven't run into any functionality issues with gnome-terminal so far in a few hours of normal use.
Hope that helps...
Has anyone resolved this without going backward on gtk2? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24967#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
