Hello,

I have been trying to port Miro (formerly Democracy) for some time. This
application is very interesting: e.g. it lets you watch videos from
Youtube or Dailymotion without a flash plug-in.

My port is available from
<http://people.freebsd.org/~thierry/ports/Miro-1.0.tgz>.

I builds and installs fine, and runs OK on some machines but fails
(Python core dumps) on some others.

I have tried to find differences between a working machine and a failing
one, without success!

However, I've noticed that build scripts are different, even if both of
them produce the same files:

- when the resulting installation is OK, the build begins with
Compiling 'playlisttab' template to 
/usr/ports/multimedia/miro/work/Miro-1.0/resources/../portable/compiled_templates/playlisttab.py

- when it is not, the build begins with
Compiling 'new' template to 
/usr/ports/multimedia/miro/work/Miro-1.0/resources/../portable/compiled_templates/new.py

but I don't understand what causes this difference!

N.B.:
- there is no impact from py25-setuptools;
- tried with -vv, but that did not give me any clue;
- building in a tinderbox produces a failing application, then I guess
  that some dependency or some environment variable is missing;
- if you want to give it a try: it is quick to build, but requires many
  dependences (add them as packages if needed).

Thanks!
