[MacPorts] #20359: dia build fails when libemf is installed

[Nigel King]

Hi,
I managed to get the new dia to install by

sudo cp /opt/local/var/macports/software/libemf/1.0.3_0/opt/local/ 
include/libEMF/emf.h /opt/local/include/

all on one line

and then issuing

sudo port install dia

dia in principle supports python with the installation directive -- 
with-python which I would like

I tried adding this to the dia Portfile

configure.args \
    --with-cairo \
    --with-xslt-prefix=${prefix} \
    --with-python

however
sudo port install dia --with-python
returns
Error: --with-python is not installed

obviously my understanding of MacPorts is at the very dangerous stage

Thanks for your help

Nigel King
