#43346: glib2 @2.40.0 issues a "Got weird mach timebase info" error when running Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 -------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: braumann@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: leopard ppc Port: glib2 | -------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by braumann@…): Replying to [comment:2 ccorn@…]:
The cause is in {{{glib/gmain.c}}} in function {{{g_get_monotonic_time()}}}. ...
Meanwhile a substantial debate on this issue has been started upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728123 As it appears, the problem not only occurs for PowerPC processors, but also for ARMs. Moreover, it is being speculated that the problem (mach_timebase_info_data_t should be capable to also carry non-1/1 numerator/denominator ratios, such as 1000000000/33329426) might affect future Intel Macs. https://bug728123.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=274897 proposes a reasonable patch for glib/gmain.c, but still the glib2 developer seem to hesitate to adopt it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43346#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
