I have plenty of ports installed with +universal, but glitz is
complaining:
$ sudo port install glitz +universal
Error: Error executing universal: Default universal variant only
works with ports based on configure
Error: Unable to execute port: Error evaluating variants
But glitz _is_ based on configure. It's a perfectly normal, simple port.
Debug output shows it's actually complaining about the XFree86
dependency:
$ sudo port -dv install glitz +universal

But I'm not even using XFree86; I'm using Apple's X11 quite happily.
I tried "sudo port -n install glitz +universal" to try to Not follow
dependencies, but it makes no difference.
How do I get around this and install glitz +universal?
