Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 I don't think there's any need to suggest the user to build the software
 by hand; the result would be the same as what MacPorts has already done.

 If you encounter build errors and want to see what they are, type "port
 log webp". The logs are deleted upon a successful installation; if you
 want to keep logs even of successful builds, edit macports.conf and set
 "keeplogs" to "yes".

 In Charlie's case, he said it built successfully, but crashed when
 running. Mac OS X saves crash logs to ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports.
 Perhaps examining that log will help.

 Ports do not usually build software with special debugging code enabled.
 But for purposes of diagnosing problems with webp, since it is new, I have
 added (in r76522) a +debug variant to webp; if you rebuild it with that
 variant, it will reduce the compiler optimization and add debugger
 information so that your crash logs will be more detailed (for example,
 including function line numbers) and you can run it through gdb if you
 want to poke at it further. At least, this should work; I have not tried
 it because it does not crash for me.
