Even though I think you're only telling it to build for x86_64, it looks like for some reason it's trying to build for arm64 as well, but that can't work because of the x86_64-only Sparkle binary it includes:

:info:build ld: warning: ignoring file /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_editors_MacVim/MacVim/work/macvim-dev-macvim-3079528/src/MacVim/Sparkle.framework/Sparkle, building for macOS-arm64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-x86_64

I got it working by basically doing this: ​https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/issues/1113

I also added --disable-sparkle to configure.args in the port file, but I'm not sure if this was necessary.

My workaround was to try to build it and when it failed I changed the permission on /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_phriedrich_.ports_editors_MacVim/MacVim/work/macvim-dev-macvim-3079528/src/MacVim/ with sudo chmod -R 777 .. (The …/build/_Users_phriedrich_.ports_editors_MacVim is because I copied the port file to set the disable-sparkle, but this probably is not required.)

Then I opened the Xcode project file with open MacVim.xcodeproj and set the Architectures to x86_64 for the main project, and after it failed again, I also set this for Frameworks → PSMTabBarCrontrol.xcodeproj.

When I re-run the MacPorts build again, it run through and I got a working installation.

Very hacky, but maybe a starting point.

Has duplicate #61534.

On Catalina on amd64 with MacVim-8.2.snapshot166 , it's trying to do the opposite of the above - trying to link amd64 with arm64:

:info:build ld: warning: ignoring file /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_editors_MacVim/MacVim/work/macvim-dev-macvim-3079528/src/MacVim/Sparkle.framework/Sparkle, building for macOS-arm64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-x86_64

:info:build ** BUILD FAILED **

Sparkle is meant to be removed by a patch, but the last contributed update broke it. The references in the Xcode project need to be removed as we do not want to use Sparkle. The changes against src/MacVim/MacVim.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj previously handling this were removed.

This was meant to be fixed by specifying the ARCH for building, as per the referenced commit.
