#41123: glib2 @2.38.1_0 Configure error ----------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: cfedk@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: glib2 | ----------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: It did use `/usr/bin/env python` but this failed when that was an incompatible version of python. glib2 requires python 2.5 through 2.7 inclusive. Neither earlier nor later versions work. So users on Tiger who had not installed and selected MacPorts python were getting the system's python 2.4, which failed. Users who installed and selected a MacPorts python3x port were getting that, which failed. See #32306. I fixed it in r87671 by using a specific known-good version of python: On Tiger: MacPorts python27; on later OS X versions: the system's python. There was no need to add a dependency on a MacPorts python on Leopard or later because on those OS X versions /usr/bin/python is 2.5 through 2.7. Of course if you change /usr/bin/python or other Apple-supplied software, then you should expect things to break. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41123#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
