So is there any way around this while that issue gets sorted? I'm just trying to get git installed on my system, and really don't care about the X11 components at this stage. I won't be using the graphical git tools anytime soon.

My temporary solution to this problem was to do the following workaround: 1. Open a terminal window[[BR]] 2. Enter the following (without quotes): "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano" (or /usr/bin/edit if you have textwrangler installed)[[BR]] 3. Enter the following (without quotes): "sudo port edit xorg- libX11"[[BR]] 4. Scroll down to the line " port:xorg-libxcb \ " (you will find it under depends_lib)[[BR]] 5. Delete the line [[BR]] 6. Press ctrl+o to write the file[[BR]] 7. Press ctrl+x to exit[[BR]] 8. You may now compile things again! Keep in mind that this is only a temporary solution. The real solution would be for someone to fix this dependency loop. I spent about 4 hours today trying to figure my way out around this problem and dug up a solution on my own. For new macports users (and veterans doing a fresh install) it really is a showstopper. I love macports - it makes my life without linux much easier, and I greatly appreciate the hard work of everyone who contributes to this project. It sure would be nice if there was some way to regression test these changes to the port tree before they go out into the wild. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26381#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Had the problem here and I saw it was solved 30 minutes before. Yeah. This solved the issue for xorg-xcb but it remains for xorg-xcb-proto. I fixed it locally by applying the same kind of patch than r71272. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26381#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
