#20372: glib2 won't build correctly on PPC machines ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: mta@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: glib2 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment(by LantzR@…): Hiya I had what seems to be this problem. I discovered it when reinstalling gtk2 which crashed and burned. XRef: #20997 I'm on running OsX 10.4.11 on PPC. I have kept the default for universal builds. Note that both glib2 and gtk2 were built and working last month, so something changed recently. I had rebuilt glib2 on Sept 12th, then gtk2 failed as described in #20997 two days later {{{ grep G_BYTE_ORDER /opt/local/lib/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h #define G_BYTE_ORDER G_LITTLE_ENDIAN }}} [comment:7 michael.klein@…] wrote:
Workaround: set build_arch to an empty string in macports.conf and rebuild glib2. This keeps the port environment from adding -arch=ppc to $CFLAGS
{{{ $ grep build_arch /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf #build_arch i386 build_arch }}}
For me the undocumented ''build_arch'' did not exist in macports.conf so I just added the empty one. Uninstalled glib2 and it's dependents, installed glib2 then gtk2. It worked just fine. I believe it did a universal build. I'll look for more info. Cheers, Lantz -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20372#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
