Of my "development" machines, one is a headless "build machine" and the
other two are laptops (one around 10 years old that I'm trying to
retire; the other only about 6 years old that I'm trying to be able to
use the way I can the older one -- but that;s tangential to the issue at
hand).

The build machine builds both FreeBSD and packages for my "production"
machines (using poudriere for the latter).  The development machines get
their ports updated via portmaster.

During the port update process on the laptops this morning, the
intended "Upgrade gtk4-4.6.3 to gtk4-4.8.0" failed for x11-toolkits/gtk40,
citing:

| Program glib-compile-resources found: YES (/usr/local/bin/glib-compile-re=
sources)

| =3D=3D=3D>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.


The tail end of that "full log" reads:

Output of `make -C /usr/ports/lang/python39 showconfig` is:

g1-70(12.3-S)[8]=20

On the off-chance that it was some sort of devel/meson option:
g1-70(12.3-S)[12] make -C /usr/ports/devel/meson showconfig                =
  =20
g1-70(12.3-S)[13]=20

This is running on:
g1-70(12.3-S)[10] uname -aUK
FreeBSD g1-70.catwhisker.org 12.3-STABLE FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE #1283 stable/1=
2-98bde38b32a: Sat Sep 10 10:34:25 UTC 2022     root@g1-70.catwhisker.org:/=
common/S1/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY  amd64 1203507 1203507

with the ports tree at main-n595362-ddae4e92d831.


The poudriere run (for the production machines) did not encounter
an issue -- but a significant contributor to that is that (in checking
this) I discovered that poudriere isn't building gtk4 -- it's building
gtk2 & gtk3.  (I have nothing mentioning gtk at all in any make.conf
files -- either in /etc or in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/.)

I'm not developing gtk applications; for my purposes, gtk* is merely a
dependency of some port that I intend to use.

I have placed copies of salient files in
https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/ports/gtk40/

How may I fix this?

Thanks!

Peace,
david
