Comment (by ballen4705):

 I followed the instructions from willpush (Will Coulter)

 (a) Downloaded patch from
 https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/58412/patch-
 gexiv2-Portfile.diff

 (b) Applied patch:

 {{{
 cd
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/gnome/gexiv2
 sudo patch < patch-gexiv2-Portfile.diff
 }}}

 The patch applied cleanly

 (c) Installed meson and tried to reinstall gexiv2:

 {{{
 sudo port install meson
 sudo port install gexiv2
 }}}

 This failed with

 {{{
 --->  Building gexiv2
 Error: Failed to build gexiv2: command execution failed
 Error: See
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gexiv2/gexiv2/main.log
 for details.
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
 Error: Processing of port gexiv2 failed
 }}}

 I have attached the main.log file just above this comment.  The error
 message in main.log is a different one than before, concerning a library
 incompatibility.  I am not sure if this is a local issue or more general
 problem, and would be grateful for any advice.
