Thanks, Josh! In fact, I renamed the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and
got most of my ports to succesfully build after executing “sudo port restore
—last”. Unfortunately, there is still a problem with libgcc14 that prevents
emacs-app to compile:
Migration finished with errors.
The following ports could not be restored:
- emacs
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
- emacs-app
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
- gnuplot
Skipped because its dependency wxWidgets-3.0 failed
- julia
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
- py311-matplotlib
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
- py311-scipy
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
- py312-matplotlib
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
- py312-scipy
Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
The following ports could not be fully restored:
- py311-jupyter
Skipped because its dependency libsodium failed
state changed from 'installed' to 'inactive'
- py312-jupyter
Skipped because its dependency libsodium failed
state changed from 'installed' to 'inactive'
- py312-jupyterlab
Skipped because its dependency libsodium failed
state changed from 'installed' to ‘inactive'
(There is also a problem with libsodium, but that seems less important). Is
this problem known? Does anybody suggest a fix/workaround, while things are
ironed out?
Thanks in advance,
Artemio
