#17008: gtk2 port incorrectly advises users to make a symlink ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: jeremyhu@freedesktop.org | Owner: nox@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gtk2 | ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment(by afb@macports.org): Replying to [comment:3 jeremyhu@…]:
Well that was the wrong resolution for #14592 ... that bug resulted because the user had .la files that referred to the wrong .dylib. This is a problem on the default Leopard X11, and there are two solutions:
1) nuke all the .la files on the system (preferred, and what is happening with SnowLeopard) 2) Install http://xquartz.macosforge.org over the system X11 since it contains consistent .la files
But installing the compat symlink is much easier/unintrusive than deleting libtool files and/or installing development versions (Xquartz) of the system X11... I don't think it's any uglier than the /usr/X11R6 -> X11 compat symlink. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17008#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
