#48842: gobject-introspection fails to on PowerPC mac : incompatible cpu-subtype for libffi.6.dylib ----------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: benoit.rivet@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: | Port: gobject-introspection ----------------------------+----------------------------------- I tried to compile texlive on an old G3 iBook with Mac OS X.4. Surprisingly, most dependencies do compile, except for gobject- introspection, kerberos5 and ports depending on them. The configuration of gobject-introspection does not reveal any problem, but while building gobject-introspection, the build fails with the following error : {{{ :info:build mod = imp.load_module(name, open(realpath), realpath, (extension, 'rb', 3)) :info:build ImportError: dlopen(./.libs/_giscanner.so, 2): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib :info:build Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib :info:build Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: :info:build /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib: incompatible cpu-subtype }}} I tried to install an older version of gobject-introspection and had the same error (maybe I did not try an old enough version). Is there any workaround or is gobject-introspection definitely not meant to be compiled on Power PC hardware ? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48842> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
