qt4-mac infinite loop issue? (aka Getting a second MacPorts into action FAILS)

[Marko Käning]

So, here is the loop visible:

I am proceeding further, as you can see I managed to get dbus installed by simply renaming the old entries.

In the further process jpeg got installed when tiff had to be installed. Then libpng and libmng followed.


I don't get this really: manually installing all those ports where no receipts could be found up there worked no problem. Also the dependencies got installed fine (like e.g. jpeg for tiff).

In the end I arrived at qt4-mac-devel which is building right now…


I am heavily irritated about all these "Didn't find receipt…" messages! But from googling this http://osdir.com/ml/apple.macports.user/2007-08/msg00078.html I understand that these messages actually must not frighten me at all. The LOOP is the problem. Wonder how it comes to this.
