This is probably because we just updated boost from 1.59.0 to 1.65.1 and this version of openvrml is probably not compatible with that version of boost.

I don't see a newer version of openvrml on their web site. Maybe report the bug to them?

Yes, this patch​ seems to solve this problem, but now I get

I'll report the bug upstream.

I submitted an ​upstream issue.

This is still an issue with openvrml @0.18.9_5

In the upstream issue, they say it's unmaintained...

[barracuda156]

Well, we should either restore a legacy Boost for such cases, or remove this port, since it is broken for past 7 years.

I think we can remove this port as OpenVRML is unmaintained for many years and no other port depends on it.

In f50f48b1376b1965fa2f69c6ede3c752161174d4/macports-ports (master):

openvrml: Remove port

OpenVRML is broken and unmaintained for 7 years and no port depends on this port.
Closes: #55301
