Thank you. Fixed. > > > Yes, I've had to edit Xcode project files to remove settings that don't make > sense for MacPorts. I don't know if there's a better way. Seems like macports recommend to use xcode.destroot.settings technique, and it seems failed. Is it macport bug then or latest xcode breaks something? https://guide.macports.org/chunked/reference.portgroup.html > > > I don't know why it would create a symlink instead of copying the actual > file. I haven't looked at this particular project's Xcode project file. It does it because 'file copy' points to a soft symlink (that what build system create in output folder soft symlink to some output folder). Seems like double job for a developer to check if it actual folder or a symlink and run 'file copy' depend on what type of file is that. May be we need help from macport build system to copy symlink/folder command ? set from ${worksrcpath}/build/Release/${name}.prefPane set to ${destroot}/Library/PreferencePanes copy(from, to) { if {[file type ${from}] == "link"} { file copy [file readlink ${from}] ${to} } else { file copy ${from} ${to} } } -- AK _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
