Can anyone tell me why the xorg port refuses to build? sudo port -v install xorg produces the following error message:
It looks like the xorg port is telling you why.
---> Fetching xorg Hi, my name is xorg, and I am broken and looking for someone to fix me. Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: invalid command name "ui_mdg" Warning: the following items did not execute (for xorg): com.apple.activate com.apple.fetch com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.install Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I'm not sure how to interpret this.
the port is broken. If you are interested in it and you fix it, it would be great if you're willing to contribute back to macports (and consider becoming the maintainer for the port).
I would like to install x.org since I'm having trouble with XDMCP sessions using Apples X11 Xfree86 implementation, and as far as I understand (I come from the Ubuntu world) x.org development is a lot more active than XFree86 anyway.
