this happens with 10.9.2. after an OS upgrade from 10.8 and following the migration recipe from the macports site (uninstall all packages, clean all, reinstall ...)

I see the same problem, also on OS X 10.9.2, with Xcode 5.1. I've attached my main.log, which contains more info on why it failed. Remember to always attach your main.log file when you file a bug report.

The port has no MacPorts maintainer, and no newer version has been released by the developers. You should report the problem to the developers so that they can fix it and release a new version, to which we can then update the port.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

The port has no MacPorts maintainer, and no newer version has been released by the developers. You should report the problem to the developers so that they can fix it and release a new version, to which we can then update the port.

the version in macports seems to be the most recent release (and it was so for some time: ksh is not changing that much any more these days I believe) and it used to compile/run under 10.8 just fine IIRC. so I'm not sure that the problem does not strictly lie with ksh itself?

anyway, I have followed your advice and posted the problem to ast-users@…. will keep you informed.

I don't know if anything ever came of the post to the mailing list mentioned above. The mailing list web server has not been running for awhile so I don't know if the mailing list still exists.

Meanwhile, there is a GitHub project for ast. Perhaps a bug report there would be useful, if indeed the version currently in the repo still suffers from the same problem (I did not check).

ksh93: Reinstate and revert to 2012-08-01

The ksh community has rejected the past few years' worth of development
that led to the release of ksh 2020.0.0 (currently available in the ksh
and ksh-devel ports). That work has been moved to a branch in the
upstream repo and its master has been reverted to ksh93u+, with no
plans for major further development. The developer who brought us
ksh2020 no longer plans to continue its development either.

Summary: ksh93 install failsksh93 @2012-08-01: error: expected parameter declarator

Apple's build of ksh for macOS uses -D_lib_memccpy in CFLAGS to fix this and the ksh 93u+m fork has adopted it as well. I'll be committing this fix and others in a little bit.

ksh93: Fix build due to memccpy misdetection

Closes: #43392

Also suppress implicit function declaration errors that cause the build to
fail with Xcode 12 and later.

Add most remaining patches from Apple's ksh 93u+ build on the theory that
they must be good for something.

Since we're forcing a rebuild anyway, take the opportunity to refine the
version number so that "93u+" is included since some users may be looking
for that.

No longer deprecated now that development is continuing in the 93u+m fork.
