mpv 0.34.1: Xcode is required even for the precompiled binary

[dardo82 (Michele Venturi)]

MPV needs Xcode, otherwise it prints an error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libswiftAVFoundation.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/mpv
  Reason: image not found

All the missing libraries are available in /usr/lib/swift,
but LC_RPATH (checked with otool -l $(which mpv))
points only to /opt/local/lib and the Xcode directory.

Is this issue caused by the way the port is built
or should it be fixed upstream instead of here?

The OP is trying to install MPV on a machine that does not have Xcode installed. This should work because MPV is available from MacPorts as a binary archive.

OP, for the sake of completeness, are the Developer Command Line Tools installed?

[dardo82 (Michele Venturi)]

The Command Line Tools are installed and
I have also tried using a package for Swift.

Does the issue still exists on High Sierra? For me on Monterey I can see RPATH includes /usr/lib/swift.

Hello , the issue occurs with Xcode 10.1 on MacOS HighSierra, downgrading Xcode to 9.4.1 solves the issue.
