Trouble installing codeblocks via MacPorts

[SimonDorfman]

I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Mac_OS_X#Install_with_MacPorts

Code

sudo port install wxWidgets

worked fine.

but then I had some trouble:

Code

$ sudo port install codeblocks-devel +aqua

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK2_CFLAGS
and GTK2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Any ideas?

That's a bug i've been telling the mac guy a few times but it never got fixed (i should have filed a bug report, i know!!)

Possibilities:
1) If you plan on installing GTK someday, do it now
2) Build from source (not macports) and edit the configure file in order to remove the bit that checks for GTK
3) File that bug report i was always too lazy to: "Mac version of C::B checks for GTK during configure while it doesn't use it at all"
4) Use a binary download

Fixed in revision 4528, now checks GTK2 when using wxGTK.
