libvpx @1.7.0: Failed to configure libvpx: configure failure

[fairytalk]

Hi guys,

libvpx had been failing to configure for approximately a week. port is up to date (2.4.2), I'm running 10.13.4 on an encrypted, journaled, case-sensitive APFS share. Xcode is @9.3 (9E145). MacPorts is located in /opt/macports, next to homebrew (/opt/homebrew). port is ahead in the $PATH and hb has only ever been used for casks.

I get the following message when trying to build libvpx:

Error: Failed to configure libvpx, consult /opt/macports/var/macports/build/_opt_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_libvpx/libvpx/work/libvpx-1.7.0/config.log
Error: Failed to configure libvpx: configure failure: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/macports/var/macports/logs/_opt_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_libvpx/libvpx/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port libvpx failed

I checked ticket:56113 and it seemed to configure fine using this:

./configure --prefix=/opt/macports --enable-vp8 --enable-vp9 --enable-internal-stats --enable-pic --enable-postproc --enable-multithread --enable-runtime-cpu-detect --enable-experimental --enable-spatial-svc --enable-shared --disable-install-docs --disable-debug-libs --disable-examples --disable-unit-tests --target=x86_64-darwin-gcc

However I was unable to install it with make install, it returns make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'. I guess I was overlooking something there.

Finally I ran sudo port -v install ld64 +ld64_xcode like kencu suggested, cleaned once more, and the install was successful. I'm not sure what was wrong but I'm submitting the ticket in hope that it might help other or dbevans. The suggested main.log and config.log are attached. Didn't find an install log for the eventual success, the screen messages were the usual though. Thanks guys.
