A few of our ports are failing on the build infrastructure, for target
Big Sur x86_64. And one of the culprits is portmidi, which causes
downstream ports to fail during the install-dependencies phase because
"Dependency 'portmidi' with variants '' has previously failed and is
required.”
But if you look at the build history for portmidi, there have only been
two attempts for Big Sur x86_64: Details for the first (11/20/2020)
don’t exist, presumably because they’ve been purged by now. The second
(12/14/2020) shows failures at a higher level, but when you delve into
the details, logs are missing:
https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_x86_64-builder/builds/7287
<https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_x86_64-builder/builds/7287>
Regardless, if you scrutinize the ‘install-port’ step, it failed mighty
quickly… in just 13 seconds. Without logs it’s hard to say - perhaps
this is a legitimate failing during configure? - but still suspicious.
Has anyone with Big Sur on Intel, been able to successfully install
portmidi?
The way it's failing is no mystery; these reports all have the same error:

The question is just how to fix it.
