See: #68225

I assume that it is the same issue.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Yep, just the Xcode 15 linker again.

[murrayE]

For some port (I forget which one) affected by this Xcode 15 linker issue, somebody suggested downgrading to Xcode 14. But that's a no-go if one is already running macOS Sonoma - that being the reason for reinstalling ports in the first place!

The problem is that one can replace Xcode 15 by Xcode 14.3.1 but the latter will not run, giving a message that a newer version of Xcode is required for this new macOS version!

So a Catch-22.

[murrayE]

I added to my ~/.profile:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=12
export OTHER_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-ld_classic

After restarting the shell, I tried to install ipopt+mpich, which has parmetis+mpich as a dependency. But configure still failed.

Is this a different issue?

Seems fixed now with parmetis @20230326_0 under MacPorts 2.9.1

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It was probably fixed by [088fe8bf449e3a2d956e52fefd0cccfeb371f481/macports-ports] and [fc229044d4132ac1fddaeeb07b07cf14d52ba4dd/macports-ports]; see #68346.
