"unable to execute -DNDEBUG" - strange gnucash build failure

[Peter Schneider]

Hello

After a "sudo port install gnucash +without_docs" I got this, probably my favorite Christmas-bug, so far I haven't been able to reduplicate it (another run of "sudo port -d install gnucash +without_docs" gave me another error ... see next posting).

It's completely obscure for me that the error message seems to be related to gdbm, a fair while after that port was activated. "-DNDEBUG" doesn't probably exist as a command, well, I thought so. "libdaemon" ("libdaemon @0.12_0 (active)"!) has got through its activation, too, though any feedback was missing ... see console messages below.

Also weird: gdbm seems to be properly installed ... a "port installed" lists
gdbm @1.8.3_1 (active), and I definitely don't need anything built for Panther (MacOS 10.3).

1 Mio. $ Question: What went wrong here?

My environment looks basically like this: PowerPC, macport 1.6.0 (1x selfupdate yesterday) at /opt/local/, a new installation of Leopard, XCode 3 (from DVD, that's still the most recent version available at connect.apple.com).

Cheers Peter ...
