What is the output of xcodebuild -version ?

It is

~ $ xcodebuild -version

Please try updating to the latest version of Xcode which I believe is 9.1. Update the command line tools at the same time.

[breadncup]

Installed xcode 9.1 and update the command line tools as well.

~ $ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 9.1

Now, there is still compilation error, and attached main2.log

It seems that despite specifying the variant quartz, some dependencies are installed with +x11. Here some part of the stdout and stderr::

Why are the dependencies installed with variants +X11 if +quartz is needed?

I have tried to install gtk3 manually but it failed:

$ sudo port install gtk3 +quartz

Why are the dependencies installed with variants +X11 if +quartz is needed?

I've just built darktable from scratch in a High Sierra environment and I didn't have that issue. I am pushing an update in a few minutes that addresses the OP's problem and another minor concern.

The most common cause of this error would be if you had already installed some of the dependencies with a default +x11 variant. In that case, you have to reinstall _each_ such dep manually with +quartz to get a sane environment. The following command shows all the darktable dependencies that are installed with a +quartz variant. I suggest you compare with your system.

$ port echo active and rdepof:darktable |grep +q
cairo                          @1.14.10_0+quartz+x11 
GraphicsMagick                 @1.3.26_0+q8 
gtk3                           @3.22.26_0+quartz 
librsvg                        @2.40.19_0+quartz 
pango                          @1.40.14_0+quartz+x11

In e819c1619614da1443557be7bb9dc67c12848aa3/macports-ports:

darktable: add +clang40 variant and make default

Avoid build failure on High Sierra by using clang 4.0.

Add dependency on desktop-file-utils as update-desktop-database is run
during port activation.

Fixes: #55380

Thanks for your help. I have managed to install darktable. The installation went fine and the programme is working well.

However the gui is reacting slow - despite 4 cores i7 and 32 GiB RAM. But I guess that this is not a topic for here.
