Updated summary to clarify that this was seen on arm64.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We had a successful build of this port on the macOS 15 x86_64 buildbot worker so this problem may be specific to your system.

The log shows two attempts to install Readown. The first failed due to:

:info:build A required plugin failed to load. Please ensure system content is up-to-date — try running 'xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch'.

If you haven't done that, please do.

The second attempt failed with a different error but it was not a clean build attempt and may have been influenced by the initial failed attempt, so please sudo port clean Readown and try again and attach the new main.log if it fails again.

Finally, note that Readown is old software that has been discontinued by its developer. Readown will not currently work on macOS 15 because it requires php which Apple removed from macOS several years ago. I suggest ​MacDown as a replacement.

[rpokala-freebsd]

I had already done the xcodebuild, but I hadn't tried to clean up. After port clean, it was able to install.

That said, than you for the suggestion about MacDown.

Thanks!

I'm glad that worked.

I do have some work in progress on switching the Readown port to use a MacPorts php, but Readown only works with php 7.3 and earlier, and php 7.4 and earlier do not currently build on macOS 15; see comment:ticket:70468:1.
