ffmpeg @4.4.2_3 +gpl3 +nonfree +x11 does not build on macOS Monterey, Version 12.6, because of an "unknown load command 5"?

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

ffmpeg @4.4.2_3+gpl2+nonfree+x11 (active) requested_variants='+gpl2+nonfree+x11' platform='darwin 21' archs='x86_64'built in summer: date='2022-08-27T22:23:28+0200', but since a few minutes it is winter…

Quite early first failures happen: /usr/bin/clang (or /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang) and ar (or /opt/local/libexec/*/ar) crash and generate reports for Apple.

Build ends here:

Main.log from x86_64 macOS Monterey, Version 12.6

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

It builds when I leave variant +gpl3 away.

When I leave variant +nonfree away, then ar crashes again during the configure phase. The build does not finish, it fails as reported before. So +gpl3 could be the culprit…

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Just building ffmpeg from source works… And it also with variant +x11.

I cannot reproduce your success here. As first port wants to install Python 3.11 which I do not want… (Besides, it happened with version @4.4.2_5.)
