[kencu (Ken)]

it is trying to build stellarium as x86_64 on arm64 and fails as all the supporting libraries are arm64.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

MacPorts hasn't specified any -arch flags in the environment variables. Not sure why. And somehow -arch x86_64 flags have materialized out of nowhere during the build. Not sure why. I don't see anything about it in the portfile so maybe it is a defect in the qt5 portgroup or the qt5 ports.

[kencu (Ken)]

I already have tried to force qt5 not to push in the x86_64 flags it wants to push in with this patch <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/aqua/qt5/files/patch-qmake-dont-hard-code-x86_64-as-the-architecture-when-using-qmake-installed.diff> but qt5 is insidious.

Perhaps the arch is slipping in somewhere still.

[kencu (Ken)]

Probably right here <​https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/blob/eaea3e793df610421e219d2ef7dbd8c5c5805bf2/CMakeLists.txt#L293>

     # We support only 64 bits MacOSX
     SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "x86_64")

[kencu (Ken)]

so petrvokac, try patching out that spot I showed you where Stellarium forces the arch to x86_64, and let MacPorts drive the arch selection instead as we want it to.

Then we will see if it builds, or if there is another error coming down the road.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Commenting out that line seems to do the trick for me. I'll add a patch.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

In 46dbf3a817d477803fdc3e2650c014bf9f86a125/macports-ports (master):

stellarium: add patch to disable limiting OSX_ARCHITECURES

let 'port' figure this out

Closes: #62413
