Needs to require C++17 at the very least. See previous issues with 1.9.4 in #65314.

[stronk7 (Eloy Lafuente)]

Yeah, I pointed to that issue ​in the PR . Pity it doesn't work with High Sierra and older.

I remember to wait patiently to GHA to finish in the PR, and was surprised that only Big Sur (11) and Monterey (12) were being tested. Obviously, the checks passed.

Not sure if there is any way, within MacPorts, to restrict the OS versions that a package version works with. Maybe the only solution is to revert again, sigh.

Ciao :-)

In 770f2e2c230e8d5b086ec7faaf1565e771770507/macports-ports (master):

doxygen: bump epoch and add update note

closes: #66069
see: #65314

stronk -- I'm very sorry to revert your commit, but doxygen is a core port for a great many builds, and MacPorts still supports many systems this build fails on.

If you want to run the latest-greatest doxygen, you could install doxygen-devel and have it right now. It's a drop-in replacement for you.

The royal "we" will sort out what to do with doxygen-devel and once it's sorted out, we'll move that vetted fix into the doxygen port.

[stronk7 (Eloy Lafuente)]

Sure, np my side, in fact I've it in my localports so can continue using it till it's fixed upstream.

Thanks for your support!

Ciao :-)

[kencu (Ken)]

you don't need it in your local ports as it already has been updated (and further fixes done) in doxygen-devel.

but of course use your own if you want !

[stronk7 (Eloy Lafuente)]

you don't need it in your local ports as it already has been updated (and further fixes done) in doxygen-devel.

Okey, I'll give a try to the -devel alternative, but only because I want, of course! LOLOLOL

Many thanks, ciao :-)

To me it seems that this failure depends on exactly one patch file: patch-CMakeLists.txt.diff. Leaving that away Doxygen 1.9.5, builds, survives its test at 100%, and also succeeds to build the xorg-libxcb +docs. All on macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.6.
