--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
  cmake-bootstrap has the following notes:
    To use this bootstrap version of cmake instead of the usual cmake port, add
    the following lines to the Portfile:
    
    depends_build-replace  path:bin/cmake:cmake port:cmake-bootstrap
    configure.cmd          ${prefix}/libexec/cmake-bootstrap/bin/cmake
  dbus has the following notes:
    Startup items (named 'dbus-system, dbus-session') have been generated that
    will aid in starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled by default.
    Execute the following command to start them, and to cause them to launch at
    startup:
    
        sudo port load dbus
  libpsl has the following notes:
    libpsl API documentation is provided by the port 'libpsl-docs'.
  lzma has the following notes:
    The LZMA SDK program is installed as "lzma_alone", to avoid conflict with
    LZMA Utils
  python310 has the following notes:
    To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by the
    'python' or 'python3' commands), run one or both of:
    
        sudo port select --set python python310
        sudo port select --set python3 python310
  qt4-mac has the following notes:
    Users experiencing graphics glitches on newer OS versions (10.13 and up) can
    experiment with different graphics drawing systems that can be set in the
    Interface tab of the /Applications/MacPorts/Qt4/qtconfig.app utility. Raster
    mode is the preferred mode but is not compatible with all non-standard
    widget styles. Keep an eye on the Fonts setting before saving!

I tried to build openscad on my M1 just now, and ran into the same boost171 error, so I will post up my main.log, which is likely similar to what you ran into.

[kencu (Ken)]

It looks like this might be the error, when building boost171 +universal on an M1 Mac:

[kencu (Ken)]

boost does it's own very specific things when building universal, with lots and lots of custom code rather than just follow the build system... so to fix this would take some digging.

might be better to find whatever is calling in boost171 and tell it to use some newer boost that will build universal (assuming there is one)?

[kencu (Ken)]

apparently those symbols are written in assembly language, and the files have to be specifically added to the build based on the build configuration.

I'm not at the moment certain how this would work -- perhaps if it works in newer boost versions we could see what they did to fix this.

[kencu (Ken)]

the universal build fails on an Intel Mac as well, no surprise.

I'm not sure if any boost versions can build universal yet arm64/x86_64.

[kencu (Ken)]

boost 171 universal fail arm64/x86_64 building on Intel
