Hi everyone, This is to request you all for some help in resolving an issue I've faced and am beset with currently. Just to introduce myself in brief, I'm Saptarshi Mukherjee - a GSoC 2020 Aspirant, have been working on the updation and enhancement of ports in the macports base, and am desirous to work on a larger project in this GSoC period, proposals of which I've submitted and am eager to have more suggestions.
Coming to the issue - the command "*sudo port test*" and "*sudo port install*" are unfortunately failing in my local machine. It says "*Unable to execute port: Could not open file: ...*". I've followed the guidelines in http://mac-os-forge.2317878.n4.nabble.com/Unable-to-execute-port-Could-not-open-file-td364084.html, but adding permissions using chmod didn't help. I'd add that even the execution of the command "*sudo port test <port-name>*" has failed, and the log file generated is too large to be shared (limit for this mailing list shall not allow it) (Some salient portions of the log are - *writeError is invalid in C99*, *wrong number of parameters passed, etc.*). This has forced me to try all build checks on the remote machine after submitting PRs. A kind assistance from your end can save a lot of time in these attempts of builds and enhancements and shall enable me to try much more critical issues, hence it's my kind request that someone may give his/her most valuable suggestions for confronting the issue. Any sort of suggestions/advice is highly appreciated. Also, I've submitted my draft proposal and am keen to modify it for the better; any suggestions in that regard are again most keenly solicited. Have a nice day! Most excited to work with you all! With Warmest Regards, Yours Sincerely, *Saptarshi Mukherjee,* *A GSoC 2020 Aspirant.*
