notmuch 0.28: assumes universal-darwin16 but I have universal-darwin17

[borwick (John Borwick)]

The ruby bindings are complaining there's no rule to make config.h:

:info:build creating Makefile
:info:build /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -C bindings/ruby
:info:build make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_mail_notmuch/notmuch/work/notmuch-0.28/bindings/ruby'

The fix/workaround:

cd "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/include/ruby-2.3.0"
ln -s universal-darwin17 universal-darwin16

John, how do you build with Ruby support given that there is no "ruby" variant of the Notmuch port and that configure is called as follows on my machine?

./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-docs --without-ruby --with-emacs

I have inherited a few tickets regarding Notmuch, some of them several years old, and I am trying to figure out which ones are still relevant.

Hi Ralph!

I think you can close this.

Re: ruby, I am guessing some dependent port had a ruby dependency.

Re: closing this, I think I hadn't rebuilt macports since I did an OS update, resulting in the "ln -s universal-darwin17 universal-darwin16" fixing this issue. I think if I had done a full wipe and rebuild when I was supposed to, then this bug would not have shown up. I highly doubt this was a notmuch-specific issue.

Thank you very much for taking on maintenance of this port! I am now using notmuch+Emacs for my email and I really appreciate that notmuch is a macports port!
