 Building gtk still fails as is described in bug number 20997.

 Platform: PowerMac G5
 OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8 with all updates available
 Tools: Xcode 3.1.4
 MacPorts: 1.8.0 freshly installed

 There are several issues with doing this build:

 % sudo port install gedit

 First, I completely uninstalled MacPorts per the docs:

 % sudo rm -rf /opt/local /Applications/MacPorts/ /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/
 /Library/Receipts/MacPorts-1.8.0.pkg/ ~/.macports/

 Second, I installed MacPorts 1.8.0 from the .dmg file

 Next, I edited /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf to set the value of
 "build_arch" to "ppc"

 Next, I edited
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/glib2/Portfile
 to make the changes in the glib2 Portfile as suggested in the patch
 included with bug number 20372.

 Then I ran "sudo port install gedit"

 It ran till it got an error from a missing install of libtool while
 compiling dbus... so I just
 ran "sudo port install libtool" which completed ok, and then ran "sudo
 port install gedit" again.

 It ran till it got the dreaded error "gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated
 cache was invalid."


 issue 1: macports.conf doesn't seem to be set correctly for building on
 PPC

 issue 2: libtool is a dependency for gedit but it doesn't get built before
 dbus where it is frist needed

 issue 3: gtk2 still won't build on PPC even with suggested fixes from
 20372 and 20997.

 Just did a clean install of Macports 1.8.0 and Xcode 3.1.4 on a MacPro
 quad core running 10.5.8 and without making any changes to Macport files,
 the command

 % sudo port install gedit

 will successfully build gtk2 except that it still has the dependency
 problem of issue 2 mentioned above where it gets an error when building
 dbus since libtool has not been built yet.
