#44502: gnome-terminal install fails due to dependency on coreutils::gmkdir -----------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: nate.schley@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gnome-terminal | -----------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by devans@…): I haven't been able to reproduce your problem on OS X 10.8.5. The program to use for mkdir, $MKDIR_P, is determined by configure. By examining config.log, I can confirm that it will use {{{ MKDIR_P='/opt/local/bin/gmkdir -p' }}} if coreutils is installed but, if not, it uses {{{ MKDIR_P='./install-sh -c -d' }}} on this OS X version. The fact that your log shows {{{ :info:destroot /bin/sh: /opt/local/bin/gmkdir: No such file or directory }}} makes me think that you had coreutils installed when configure ran but later deactivated/uninstalled it and did a build without running configure again. This could possibly occur if you didn't clean the port before building. Please try again a clean build as follows: {{{ $ sudo port deactivate coreutils $ sudo port clean gnome-terminal $ sudo port install gnome-terminal }}} and if it fails again, attach both the build log cited in the error message and config.log which can be found in the directory given by {{{ port work gnome-terminal }}} Thanks -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44502#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
