stellarium fail to build on Darwin Kernel Version 23.4.0 / Sonoma 14.4.1

[rernenwein]

i upgraded macos from ventura to sonoma then i applied procedure wiki:Migration to migrate macports

all went mostly well but at the end following packages had installation problem:

Error: Failed to build xping: command execution failed
Error: Failed to build stellarium: command execution failed
Error: Failed to configure gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3: gtk3 +quartz not installed.
Error: Failed to configure gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3: gtk3 +quartz not installed.

i then cleaned environment for stellarium and tried again without success:

today i downloaded the version from here

https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/releases/download/v24.1/Stellarium-24.1-qt6-macOS.zip

and it worked

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

This requires a post-configure patch of ElipsedDoubleScatteringPrecomputer.cpp or ElipsedDoubleScatteringPrecomputer.hpp to add the line

#define GLM_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL

This change is included in version 24.2

Second, the stand alone installer was built with Qt6. I locally built it that way. However, I'm still testing it.
