Please attach the main.log.

I have attached the "main.log" file.

The error in the log is:

:info:build ninja: error: unknown target 'CC=/usr/bin/clang -arch arm64'

I believe this would only occur when building with the +universal variant. If you don't need a universal build, you could avoid the problem by not using the universal variant. However, maybe you do need to build universal, in which case we should fix this.

I am also confused by a message earlier at the end of the configure phase:

:debug:configure Executing proc-pre-org.macports.configure-configure-2
:error:configure gtk3 requires at least one architecture runnable on this
:error:configure machine to be able to build universally. Please add at least
:error:configure one of the following architectures to `universal_archs` in
:error:configure "/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf":
:error:configure        ppc64 ppc

I note that the code in the gtk3 Portfile that prints this message has not been updated for the arm64 architecture, so this message may be spurious—or updating that code may be needed to get this port to build universal. There are several related gtk ports; they may all need updates. Best not to let them diverge too much.

(1) The computers I have used are/were Windows computers. This is my first Macbook and this is the basic information about it:

Model Name: MacBook Pro

Model Identifier: MacBookPro18,1 Model Number: MK183LL/A Chip: Apple M1 Pro Total Number of Cores: 10 (8 performance and 2 efficiency) Memory: 16 GB System Firmware Version: 8422.121.1 OS Loader Version: 8422.121.1

(2) I am using Kile on the Windows machines. I like Kile mostly because of the "Live Preview" feature in this LaTeX IDE. In that sense the situation is not "critical" for me and I can wait; I just want to use Kile in MacOS. (3) I initiated this ticket, because my feeling is something should be fixed because of the relatively new "arm64" architecture. It is not a problem for me to wait, and I am willing to help as much as I can. (4) Thank you!
