Building on OSX

[aquiles2k]

Hi,
i recently tried to build a fresh mxe with gcc on Mac OSX 10.11.3 (El Capitan) with MacPorts which failed at two points.

According to the index.html on mxe.cc i installed the following ports:

sudo port install \
    autoconf automake bison coreutils flex gettext \
    gdk-pixbuf2 glib2 gsed intltool libffi libtool \
    openssl p5-xml-parser p7zip scons wget xz

The first error was:

Failed to build package mxe-conf for target x86_64-apple-darwin15.3.0!
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

I fixed that by also installing the pkgconfig port

After that i got:

Failed to build package glib for target i686-w64-mingw32.shared!

This seems to be a issue to other on MLs as well and most say to delete the glib-gettext.m4. I fixed it by patching the file to use m4_copy_force instead of m4_copy on both occurences on line 39 and 40.

I have opened a pull request fixing both problems: #1283
Does it work for you?
