See main.log

P.S. I suspect clang-16 is too strict. I will try to build with an older clang compiler.

Yes, geany @2.0 does build just fine with an older clang compiler like clang-11. I suspect it will also build with clang-15 but I did not try.

Here is a workaround:

bash-3.2$ sudo port clean geany
Password:
--->  Cleaning geany
bash-3.2$ 
bash-3.2$ sudo port -v upgrade geany configure.compiler=macports-clang-11
etc
