Looks like the error might be this:

error: Compiling for earlier than macOS 10.6 is no longer supported.

so have to see why it's trying to do that.

[kupietools (Michael E. Kupietz)]

Hi, is there a workaround? Trying in vain to get this package installed, and getting the same error.

I'm not especially proficient with the ins and outs of MacPorts or of compiling software on MacOS, so very simple step-by-step instructions to get this package installed would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

fixed <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/4043>

[thomasleaute]

When can we expect this fix to be available in MacPorts? It's still failing at the moment.

[kencu (Ken)]

We are having a planning-type discussion about whether it is sensible to continue fixing the many broken xcodebuild ports individually (redundant but practical) or whether we hold off and wait for a "one fix to rule them all" fix that will fix all the broken builds at once.

Obviously it is best to fix them all at once, if possible, and the MacPorts' manager rightfully leans in that direction. BUT that elegant solution is not appearing to be at hand, and we want to fix the builds for users like yourself in the meantime.

[kencu (Ken)]

In the meantime, if you would like this fix committed, please ask Ryan to consider committing the fix.

graphviz-gui: fix build on Mojave

Building with Xcode 10.1 on macOS 10.14 fails with "error: Compiling
for earlier than macOS 10.6 is no longer supported". Add a patch that
raises the SystemTarget version in the xib files.

closes: #57830

The destroot step of graphviz-gui fails with the same SymLink error as
observed for aquaterm in ticket 56895. Copy the fix from there
(81afc68c58d8b8107473fdcc147b97ac5d2e8411).

see: #56895

[akimd (Akim Demaille)]

Thanks a lot!

But afaict, graphviz-gui-devel is still broken. I suppose it's about the same changes that are needed.

[thomasleaute]

Fixed indeed! Thanks

[kencu (Ken)]

I broke a rule to push this through for you. If you can live without the -devel version for the moment, let's allow the maintainer to come to terms with this.

Replying to kencu:

I sure can. Thanks _a lot_ for your help!
