[dershow]

The upgrade for graphviz-gui from 8.1.0_0 to 9.0.0_0 is giving me an error.

graphviz itself seems to have installed OK.

I've attached the log.

graphviz-gui build log

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log contains 37 occurrences of:

Please file a bug at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com with this warning message and any useful information you can provide.

so it would probably be a good idea to do that, though I don't know if that is related to the build failure.

The last error in the log is:

error: failed to deserialize Info.plist task context: Deserialization failed: SDK lookup failed for canonical name: macosx13.3 (in target 'application' from project 'graphviz')

I don't know what that means. I get no hits when searching the Internet for that string (other than a single result which is an export of all the strings in Xcode).

We have successful ​builds of this port on all macOS versions but we are not using Xcode 15 on the build machines yet, so maybe your use of Xcode 15 is relevant.

[ddrum2000]

To add to the list of complexities, it builds fine on my laptop (M2 Air, OS 14, XCode 15) but neither of my desktops 2017 imac (OS 13.6, Xcode 15) & M1 Studio (OS 14, Xcode 15)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Do they all have the Xcode 15 version of the CLT or does that differ?

[dershow]

I did report the issue to ​https://feedbackassistant.apple.com FYI, I am using XCode 15.0.1.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Has duplicate #68757 reported against graphviz-gui-devel.

[dershow]

I've upgraded to XCode 15.1 (CLT 15.1.0.0.1.1700200546) and it's still not building.

[nabsys-mkaiser (Michael Kaiser)]

I've also upgraded to XCode 15.1 (CLT 15.1.0.0.1.1700200546) and it's still not building on my iMac with intel silicon. It does build on my M1 MacBookPro

[kencu (Ken)]

relevant, without a fix:

​https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/740594

the hard-coded sdk will have to be changed, obviously

[dershow]

I wonder what's unique about graphviz-gui and how it compiles that makes this show up, but it's not showing up for other packages.

[dershow]

I'm now on Xcode 15.2 and still see the same problem. Any suggestions to move this along?

[dershow]

I updated to MacOS 14.3 (from 13.6.2) , and Macports to 2.9.0. To do so, I followed the migration instructions (so reinstalled all ports) and now graphviz-gui did install.

So, I don't know which changed fixed it, but this problem has gone away for me (but could remain for others?).

[akimd (Akim Demaille)]

I don't know when this was fixed, but it turns out it was successfully updated on my machine too. I don't know if it downloaded a precompiled package, or it was built on my machine...

FTR, I did not fully reinstall MacPorts from scratch: I simply upgraded to Sonoma, and continued to use port updated outdated. It eventually reinstalled everything.

[nabsys-mkaiser (Michael Kaiser)]

While it's good to know that problems resolve with Sonoma, I still need to use Ventura. My M1 MacBookPro has no problems, but problems persist with my Intel iMac.

I wonder what's unique about graphviz-gui and how it compiles that makes this show up, but it's not showing up for other packages.

This is also a problem with another package ssh-askpass-mac (v1.2 and v3.0) as @ryandesign pointed out on my PR ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/23181#issuecomment-2016783820 and I filed at ticket:69581

It seems to only afflict Ventura on Intel, but not ARM and other recent macOS versions.
