zvbi @0.2.35_3 fails building on 10.5.8 PPC

[udbraumann]

While upgrading ffmpeg from 4.2.2_0 to 4.4.1_1, as a new dependency zvbi is required to be installed. However, building fails with a peculiar bus error:

...

Looking some lines above in main.log, it gets apparent that the trouble is caused by doxygen:

An hour ago I updated doxygen from 1.8.18_0 to 1.9.3_1. I will try to revert it back to 1.8.18_0 and see what happens.

Replying to udbraumann:

An hour ago I updated doxygen from 1.8.18_0 to 1.9.3_1. I will try to revert it back to 1.8.18_0 and see what happens.

$ sudo port installed doxygen
The following ports are currently installed:
  doxygen @1.8.18_0 (active)
  doxygen @1.9.3_1

That resolved my problem described above.

regarding:

:info:build doxygen(79869) malloc: *** error for object 0xa08293dc: Non-aligned pointer being freed
:info:build *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

this is a well-known problem involving gcc builds the past several years now.

You can review this recent comment here for some up-to-date details of why it happens:

​https://github.com/iains/darwin-toolchains-start-here/discussions/3#discussioncomment-1905256

For now, the legacysupport PortGroup has a workaround to wrap the bins and make it work (usually). See the legacysupport Portgroup for details, and the fix has been used in a few dozen ports that show this problem.

If you get it fixed and can demonstrate the fix works, I'm sure everyone would appreciate a PR.

UPD. --disable-doxygen-docs solves the problem.

Based on comment:2 I assume this was fixed by [bc5a40ac27e0454062963ea3ac196d6de4dfbfad/macports-ports].
