esmf @8.5.0: error: 'PTHREAD_STACK_MIN' was not declared in this scope

[thiagoveloso (Thiago V. dos Santos)]

I am trying to install esfm under macOS Ventura v13.6.1, Xcode v15.0.1 and MacPorts 2.8.1.

The command I tried to use was "sudo port install esmf +gcc13 +mpich" since I've installed both HDF5 and NetCDF with the same arguments.

It *looks* like it is complaining about PTHREAD since the first error message mentions it, but the culprit could be something else.

:info:build /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_esmf/esmf/work/esmf-8.5.0/src/Infrastructure/VM/src/ESMCI_VMKernel.C: In function 'int vmkt_create(vmkt_t*, void* (*)(void*), void*, bool, size_t)':

Any hints on how to overcome this build failure would be much appreciated. Complete log file is attached to the message.

@thiagoveloso, you are at ESMF 8.5.0 As a first step, please try the next release, 8.6.0. Coincidentally I have a draft portfile for 8.6.0. Please install that and see if it gets through ESMCI_VMKernel.C. Let me know if you have any install questions.

Later in the build, you might run into duplicate LC_RPATH in /opt/local/lib/libnetcdff.7.dylib. This is a known problem which is outside the scope of ESMF. I would like to first get past ESMCI_VMKernel.C.
