Description (last modified by chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez))
Upstream project recommends using the latest release, 5prealpha (released in 2016).
There has also since been occasional development on the project's GitHub repository: https://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinx4
The upstream project's homepage also suggests using its newer Vosk/Kaldi libraries instead.
If this port is kept, it should be migrated to the Java portgroup and have its fallback dependency on deprecated port kaffe removed (#60206).
(I personally do not need this port.)

Do not rely on https://packages.macports.org for determining whether a port can build; that site is only for prebuilt archives of ports which allow binary redistribution. Even if sphinx4 can build, MacPorts likely will not offer a prebuilt archive for it since there is currently no license specified in its Portfile, and so no way for MacPorts to be certain binary redistribution is allowed.
If you want to check whether a port is known to build, please use https://ports.macports.org; in the case of sphinx4 this is mostly unknown because almost no builds of the port have been requested since the launch of https://ports.macports.org a few years ago.

Replying to nxg:
Currently sphinx4 fails to build, with messages which include:

These messages are expected any time a prebuilt binary archive for a port is unavailable and so normally the port will instead build locally from source. If the local build is failing then please go ahead and open a ticket and attach the full main.log for the build.
(I'm adding this as a comment to this bug, rather than a separate bug, because what I'm seeing might be a consequence of what looks like a slightly transitional state of this port).

And true enough, the link https://packages.macports.org/sphinx4 (etc) doesn't exist.
