#67139 closed defect

ncdu won't install on ARM platforms. — at Version 3

Port: ncdu

Description (last modified by mforbes (Michael McNeil Forbes))

The useful ncdu port is very unhealthy...

https://ports.macports.org/port/ncdu/details/

The failure is due to the unresolved #65333 where zig fails to build. While that is unresolved, is there any workaround? I asked for one in that thread, but none has been provided.

I don't see any tickets about ncdu.

Apparently ncdu 2.2.1 still uses zig 0.9, so maybe we can install that?

# Make some coffee... this takes a while.
git clone --single-branch https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git  
cd macports-ports
git checkout 6032b8aa0e865ddedc83b63bc662c7e5e091a909
cd sysutils/ncdu
port install

Don't forget to exclude this when you update:

port upgrade outdated and not ncdu

(Is there any way to pin this? If so, please answer this superuser question.)

Can 2.2.1 be made the default version for ARM processors while this issue remains?
