Ciao, first of all, thank you very much for the prompt reply and quick solution.
since mailutils dropped python2 support starting version 3.10, i am now trying to update python version to 3.9 unfortunately without success. before open another ticket (i trust i am supposed to open a brand new ticket, please correct should I be mistraken), i would like to take the change to understand better a bunch of things related to this port, but i believe more general as scope. 1. using trace mode, i have found out the port can be build without the listed building dependencies: coreutils, gawk, grep, gsed and m4. is it correct to assume that macports tends to limit as much as possibile the number of dependencies? therefore i am supposed to comment out the depends_libs stanza? 2. the universal variant is still valid? or can i add the universal_variant no line in Portfile? what are the rationales behind the two choices? 3. i give for granted that --verbose e —disable-silent-rules are useful when creating/debugging the Portfile, but the final version should be without them. correct? 4. i get a huge amount of warning similar to the following: libtool: warning: '../lib/libmuaux.la <http://libmuaux.la/>' has not been installed in '/opt/mp/lib’ as far as i understood reading the sources, i guess this is bound to legacysupport-1.1 PG which by default instructs to do not use static. am i correct? am i supposed to let it be? 5. i would like to add +docs and +examples to allow the users to install docs, info and examples. where i can find documentation and/or useful ports i can use as examples? 6. while trying to configure python support i got the following warning (which eventually results in a failing build): Warning: The following file inside the MacPorts prefix not installed by a port was accessed: /opt/mp/bin/python3-config note: regarding python39 support, i am going to create a ticket with full information; to make it short: with port select python/python3 set to none, it does not configure with build support, with python/python3 both o singular selected as python39, port configure correctly sets python support but the build fails with the following error: ld: library not found for -lpython3.9 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[3]: *** [libmu_py.la <http://libmu_py.la/>] Error 1 as always thank you very much for your help (and patience!), cheers, — ferdy > On 30 May 2021, at 13:22, MacPorts <nore...@macports.org > <mailto:nore...@macports.org>> wrote: > > #62993: mailutils: update to version 3.12 - building from command line but > failing > to build using macports > ------------------------+------------------------------------ > Reporter: ferdy | Owner: Chris Jones <jonesc@…> > Type: defect | Status: closed > Priority: Normal | Milestone: > Component: ports | Version: 2.7.1 > Resolution: fixed | Keywords: > Port: mailutils | > ------------------------+------------------------------------ > Changes (by Chris Jones <jonesc@…>): > > * status: new => closed > * owner: (none) => Chris Jones <jonesc@…> > * resolution: => fixed > > > Comment: > > In [changeset:"d8c62da0224fa800fc153094264e0d8e7c934879/macports-ports" > d8c62da0224fa800fc153094264e0d8e7c934879/macports-ports] (master): > {{{ > #!ConfigurableCommitTicketReference repository="macports-ports" > revision="d8c62da0224fa800fc153094264e0d8e7c934879" > mailutils: Add patch for libtool bug on macOS11+ > Closes: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62993 > <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62993> > }}} > > -- > Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62993#comment:4 > <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62993#comment:4>> > MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/ <https://www.macports.org/>> > Ports system for macOS
