So, I was able in the end to build it, by patching the portfile (found here: ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/PatchLocal)

It would be good to have a fix upstream, but I don't have the time/knowledge right now to submit a good patch.

This is how I got it working:

Portfile

Appended the last 2 lines, which were the output of xcrun -find cc and xcrun -find c++

# disable because it fails to find Doxyfile.swig_doc.in
configure.args-append \
    -DENABLE_DOXYGEN=OFF \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=11 \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc" \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/c++"

files/cmakelists.txt.patch

Modified the line for FIND_PATH to also look into the explicit directories

-FIND_LIBRARY(HIDAPI_LIBRARY hidapi-libusb)
+FIND_PATH(HIDAPI_INCLUDES hidapi.h PATHS $ENV{CPATH}/hidapi /opt/local/include /opt/local/include/hidapi)
+FIND_LIBRARY(HIDAPI_LIBRARY hidapi)

After this, I was able to install the port

Best, Nicolas

@poison : thank you for this background work & I'm glad you worked out a way to get this port installed. I have other GR MP work that must be done first, but then I'll add this to my queue since it looks relatively straight forward & all of the GR/OOT MP ports need updating.

Replying to poison:

I didn't need the compiler path patch but I did need the hidapi one. (On a newly updated amd64 Monterey system).

Thanks for the hint.
