Hi
slightly OT for macports but definitly onT. :)
My wife’s machine is Catelina (and Ends at Big Sur). It has, and I/She uses
lots of ports and IIRC we have used Qt before, but when I try to build
something I get the XCode license dialog. No worries, accept. "Something is
wrong see the log”

Pardon being OT to a bunch of clever people who may be able to help …
Googling yields little more than a bunch of cretins proclaiming the apple gods
have spoken saying DO NOT GO THERE
(Darling not even even Hitler can be dregs and scum at the same time, so the
irony is not lost on me)
I want Son
My reply wanders OT but may be of interest to the OP. Certainly would have been
useful to me 2 weeks ago

After lots of hunting I re-installed high sierra from scratch.
Public key DID work.
I slowly restored from a time machine backup until it stopped working.
The culprit was .ssh directory.
I put the working .ssh dir back and copied my id’s and config to the working
.ssh dir. Public key still worked

I posted this to mythtv-users, but I wondered in anyone had any interest. The

De Grass Tyson presents argument that it is genetic, and I will not
discriminate on genetics.
But touting a belief is not genetic, it is for a purpose, and I think it spoils
the forum. Please don't.
