Thanks for the tip on getting it working.

It might be helpful it you attached a log showing what the problem was.

You should basically never need to force a port to activate.

As you know, this port is unmaintained. If you can provide a fix, please file a pull request.

This port, and the rest of xfce, should be updated to the latest stable versions (4.18.x). Maybe that will already fix the problem you saw.

    initial v1  
    11There are no compiled binary packages for xfconf available yet. When macports attempts to compile, compilation fails with the message:
     2
     3{{{
    24Error: Failed to configure xfconf: configure failure: command execution failed.
     5}}}
    36
    47It appears that the configuration step fails to run aclocal at the appropriate point.
    … …  
    811Doing the following produced a probably-functional copy of xfconf for me:\\
    912
    10 1) Manually navigating to the appropriate work directory
    11 (/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_xfce_xfconf/xfconf/work/xfconf-4.16.0)\\
    12 
    13 2) sudo aclocal\\
    14 
    15 3) sudo /opt/local/bin/xdt-autogen --prefix=/opt/local --disable-visibility\\
    16 
    17 4) sudo make && sudo make install\\
    18 
    19 5) sudo port -f activate xfconf\\
    20

     131. Manually navigating to the appropriate work directory (/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_xfce_xfconf/xfconf/work/xfconf-4.16.0)
     142. `sudo aclocal`
     153. `sudo /opt/local/bin/xdt-autogen --prefix=/opt/local --disable-visibility`
     164. `sudo make && sudo make install`
     175. `sudo port -f activate xfconf`
    2218
    2319At least, this appears to generate a working xfconf. At the very least, other packages which depend on xfconf will build/install with no more errors than they otherwise would exhibit.
