devel/gobject-introspection + MacOS

[Brook Milligan <brook%nmsu.edu@localhost>]

Once again I am having trouble compiling devel/gobject-introspection on MacOS/Catalina.  The error message is:

In file included from /private/tmp/pkgsrc/devel/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-1.64.1/output/g-ir-cpp-xyz5iirl.c:4:
/private/tmp/pkgsrc/devel/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-1.64.1/girepository/giarginfo.h:30:10: error: 'gitypes.h' file not found with <angled> include; use "quotes" instead

Here is the corresponding bit from .work.log:

It looks like the what is basically -I${WRKSRC}/girepository is being removed by the wrapper transforms.  That is the location of the gitypes.h file, so it is not found as indicated in the error message.

I have added BUILDLINK_PASSTHRU_DIRS+=${WRKSRC} (and ${WRKSRC}/girepository) but that makes no difference.

How can I control the command being run so that the right directories are included?

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Brook
