#48842: gobject-introspection fails to on PowerPC mac : incompatible cpu-subtype
for libffi.6.dylib

     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:                  |       Port:  gobject-introspection
----------------------------+-----------------------------------
 I tried to compile texlive on an old G3 iBook with Mac OS X.4.
 Surprisingly, most dependencies do compile, except for gobject-
 introspection, kerberos5 and ports depending on them.

 The configuration of gobject-introspection does not reveal any problem,
 but while building gobject-introspection, the build fails with the
 following error :

 {{{
 :info:build     mod = imp.load_module(name, open(realpath), realpath,
 (extension, 'rb', 3))
 :info:build ImportError: dlopen(./.libs/_giscanner.so, 2): Library not
 loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib
 :info:build   Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib
 :info:build   Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
 :info:build     /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib: incompatible cpu-subtype
 }}}

 I tried to install an older version of gobject-introspection and had the
 same error (maybe I did not try an old enough version). Is there any
 workaround or is gobject-introspection definitely not meant to be compiled
 on Power PC hardware ?
