Building 64-bit on PowerPC isn't particularly useful unless you need to access more than 4GB of memory from a single program. Building glib2 64-bit on PowerPC has already been reported not to work in #31221 it's a different error message and there is a patch there; does that help this issue as well? I don't have a G5 to test this with. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31470#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
