Description
When I attempted to install tiemu3, it brings up an error. I tried going to the page that macports is trying to download tiemu3 from, and got a "404 not found" page. I'm assuming that it should be removed from macports unless someone knows where to find it.

If you are using Xcode 12 or later as I am, I expect the build failure is due to implicit function declarations. I believe this was fixed by the tiemu developers back in 2010, but they did not release a new version of tiemu since then. Let me see if I can backport that fix. Once that's fixed, we're still left with the failure in #57310, though that's easy to fix by patching out the redefinition of abort.

Replying to ryandesign:
no binary available to download from MacPorts. That could occur for many reasons,
In this case, the reason is that we do not believe we are legally permitted to distribute a binary:
"tiemu3" is not distributable because its license "GPL-2" conflicts with license "Apache-2" of dependency "py310-cython"

Has duplicate #67775.
There was another flurry of changes committed to the tiemu3 repository in August 2022, which may have fixed some build issues we were seeing (I didn't check), but still there is no new release. If you are interested in installing tiemu3 on macOS, please ask the developer to publish a new proper stable release tarball. We can then try to update to that version and if any further problems remain we can file bug reports with the developer about that then. It makes little sense, I think, to try to file bug reports about the latest release which was in 2010 when there have been fixes made since then.
Presumably you mean that there is no binary available to download from MacPorts. That could occur for many reasons, one of which would be that the port does not build. The source code is still there to download. Please attach the main.log file that shows how it failed to build.
