#22197: xcb fails to install on Snow Leopard MacPort 1.8.1 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: felix@… | Owner: qbarnes@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: xcb ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment(by felix@…): Replying to [comment:7 qbarnes@…]:
I'm a "newbie" too for the most part. I just wait until one of the maintainers sees the patch, reviews it, tests it, and checks it in. In the mean time, you can download the patch and apply it yourself to get going.
I downloaded the patch, and install xcb. It seems to work. Thanks,
There is no reason for glade3 to have any dependency on the "xcb" package. My guess is that the dependency on "xcb" in the gnome "startup- notification" is not necessary thinking it had something to do with xorg- xcb-* packages. If this dependency is in any way necessary, I'd be completely shocked. The xorg-xcb-* packages have to do with "X protocol C-language Binding" where the xcb package itself has to do with "X Cut Buffers".
To be honest with you, I am not quite sure which package in the list needs xcb... At least, for now, the glade3 install is ongoing. Thanks gain, -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22197#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
