This came up in reinstalling everything after moving to Big Sur

This looks like the well-known derived data path issue (#57137).

However, even if we fix that, there are still a dozen other open issues that probably prevent Pallet from working.

You appear to have an additional problem on your computer: Your macports user's home directory appears to be /Users/macports, which is not what it should be. This can happen if you upgrade to a new Mac and tell macOS to migrate your data from another computer, including migrating the macports user. Apple's migration process will relocate all user accounts' home directories into /Users; there is no option not to do this, but it is wrong for them to do this. You could manually fix the macports user's home directory entry using dscl and then move the actual directory from /Users/macports back to where it belongs. The same may apply to any other users you migrated that had been created by MacPorts ports.

I build this a few minutes ago on Catalina with a couple of minor patches. It runs, but then later on did crash.

Anyway, this PR <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/9602> gets it to the point where it will build at least, on Catalina with Xcode 12.3.

Getting it building was one thing; getting it to a fully functional state will be another project.

selecting the tcl directory is tricky, as the folder is hidden. I did it by making a symlink into my home directory:

ln -s /opt/local/libexec/macports/lib tcl

and selecting that.

Unfortunately, Pallet crashes soon after. There are other tickets about that, possibly different than my crash, but FWIW, here's the crash I saw:

Replying to ryandesign:

Apple's migration process will relocate all user accounts' home directories into /Users; You could manually fix the macports user's home directory entry using dscl and then move the actual directory from /Users/macports back to where it belongs. The same may apply to any other users you migrated that had been created by MacPorts ports.

Where do those home directories belong? Is there a way to detect whether a particular user is a macports user that should be moved? Is this documented somewhere? I'm inclined make a script that automates going through the userlist and fixing all such users if it's easy enough.

the Pallet port is presently a lost cause; don't spend another second on it.

If you want to work on something at least close to usable, clone the MacPorts pallet repo and start from there. I got that building and not crashing (but not working either) with 15 minutes of effort.

[kencu (Ken)]

The current best shot at building something would be to start with the github repo at <​https://github.com/macports/pallet.git>
